I tried searching for this subject, but there was nothing that matched my situation.
When riding above 4K rpm, the bike seems to surge and I can't keep it running smoothly. It is not a major surge, it is just not running smoothly.
I put my carb synch on and checked them at idle and above 3K and they track exactly the same.
Next, I checked the timing. I pulled the advancer off and cleaned and lubed it and everything is free to move.
After setting the timing on both sides at idle with a strobe light, I checked the advance. This is where it gets interesting.
The left side will advance past the marks, while the right side will only advance to the correct marks. I think this is the cause of my surging running condition. One cylinder is advanced too much and the other is not.
How do I keep the left side from advancing too far?
Not sure if I need to replace the points or is there something that can be adjusted?
Thanks for your help.
