you need to pinch one line off or cap it completely or it will pull air up through one. this can and will give incorrect results if you dont.  trust me on this. 

regular petcock and everything should flow fine. check for restrictions. my advice is: clamp off 1 line, take the other off, and put a long line on it. put line in a gallon jug, turn fuel on. watch the flow for about 2 mins. if it reduces over that 2 mins, you have a restriction somewhere .

could be the petcock flow, tank vent, etc. what size mains are in there?

is it in 4th 5th and 6th? but 1,2 3 ok? might be starving the bowl

yeah I know he has done work to them. luckily I don't need help mine. however, I might send him my spare crank to get rebuilt as its honestly not worth my time to do it, and the 71 needs a crank seal

I literally ride them all regular. however, either the cb1100 or the dr650 or the ct125 gets a lot of regular commuter/errand use.

i had that happen once on an sv650, when it was new. wash boarding and a rise and fall over a hill. glad you made it, and yes a damper does wonders. 

probably. the vp heads are on the list. im going to get the spare set of cyls decked 2mm and use the jack plate on them eventually,and I have a set of 34mm flatslides new on hand. however,  none of these are high revvers overall, this pulls to 7k, overrevs to 8, and im ok w that . even built street ones don't go  much higher, I want it to stay together.  I have about 1k in ignition, 1800 in pipes so far. the 1k in heads will come soon but fuuuuuccckkk.      right now i am happy w it to be honest. I have black bodywork coming, aiming for this.  I've had this Pic for ages. know nothing about it but I like it.  figured the fairing out as well.

etd has a setup for rzs, basically pre setup and ready to go. thats all I know

 

so I wanted to add a zeeltronic controller to the cdi (vape). its a bit different to an rd as it has an internal trigger, not a pickup per-say. to do this, I had to use a regular cdi coul, not the vape one. ordered a dynatek cdi coil from economy cycle. then install the zeel  as per usual. the cdi drum had to be set to 70 degrees advanced from tdc. zeel uit was a Z-PDCIS-A01T . directions came from  John and Borut. its def much better with a retard of the curve over 5k, the rev limiter is nice as well. I also repurposed an old kawasaki.. f11? throttle and kill switch because the t500 doesn't have a battery mounted kill stock.  lastly, when uli pulled the cdi, there was oil behind it.    turns out the brand of pul seal i used back when I did the crank is slightly undersized od, so it was seeping on the outside. had no signs otherwise of a failing seal. easy to replace but ffs.

i like the bike but 1: gulf colors played the fuuuuck out and 2: that fairing needs some adjustments to look right. it doesn't.

just bring it to the house. I got my programmer back we can look at it one sunday if you want.

carbs dont suddenly need brass changes. 

those stock carbs suck.

man if nothing else get a set of pwks from toomey and ebay the stock carbs, somebody will want em.

just carefully drill in a 1.5 to 2mm hole. dont go all the way thru the bowl though (ask how i know), and yes, that def explains it
