Ok, here's my first question, I'm sure there will be more.

The bike starts fine, and runs good, it's a little fussy, but nothing major (it still has the stock Weber). However it has died on me a couple of times. When I get on it (maybe 6000-7000 rpms) through all the gears, it will die(sometimes), usually after I've started to back off the throttle. Both times that it has done this, I also noticed the fuel warning light flashed a few times.

I was thinking maybe vaporlock? It was very hot outside when this happened. The bike was serviced shortly before I bought it, valves adjusted, carb gone through, new belt, etc.. I am going to change the fuel filter, and clean the petcock.

Does anyone have any ideas, or had a similar problem? :confused:

Pasos SHOULD function VERY well between 5000-8000 rpm without any problems.... At least mine function! And its very good to use high rpms just BEFORE valve adjustings to get shit out from valve systems. Surely valves must be adjusted in COLD engine!!!!

The motor has no real weakness, you can cane the shite out of it and she will come back for more.

The carb is crap. Start looking for Dellorto's or Mikunis for a winter project.

I have found a couple of tires, but you're right a carb upgrade is in order also. It runs pretty good but there is definitely room for improvement in the carburetion.

Do you guy's feel that one is better than the other?

Dellorto or Mikuni?
