For those of you that use this as a test of your jetting, how long do you hold the bike at full throttle in high gear?
Keeping in mind that this will cost a fortune and a licence suspension pretty much anywhere, how long does it take to give a good reading.
I recently did this on my bike, flat out for 10-15 seconds. The plugs were perfectly clean, with nice indicators for timing.
This is with 120's in a bike that should need no more than 115's, but the test shows that 120's may be fine at wide-open throttle.
Right now, though the bike is very rich in the mid range, and bogs in the low end, although these can be adjusted.
According to my CV tuning guide, if you are within 2 jet sizes of correct you should be able to set the carbs properly.
This makes me wonder if it would be better to 1-2 sizes big than 1-2 sizes small.
