the hesitation at 5000 RPM would typically be an indication of a too lean condition. Riding the bike around too much on a lean condition can burn...

don't know why I bother since you don't listen anyway.... 1/2 throttle 5-6000rpm would be a combination of main jet and jet needle. Accelerating...
I think I followed a post of yours on this topic yesterday. My 500 needed #97.5 and bucked like a bronco on the stock #90. And that's at 5000ft...

It will be interesting to find out if the previous owner also dicked with the carb jetting or just gutted the can and called himself a dork - I...
I'm with squirrel and agree it's best to worry about one problem at a time. A clean jet is a clean jet, it's not rocket science. If a wire...

Amen Take adventure by the horns and ride that bitch. Don't forget your digital camera and lots of memory card space. Make sure it's got good...
This isn't fuel injection where low pump flow would have an immediate affect on the bike revving. If the pump delivers enough fuel to be stored...
