I fixed this issue last summer but I forgot to post my findings. What I found was that in the gear shift linkages behind the right engine cover the stopper arm that holds the drum, gearshift assembly in place was bent outward. This was allowing the shaft to slide left and right and not hold...

I went ahead and dropped my mains down from 105 to 100s. This issue still persists but only in 3rd gear. I tried cruising and slightly accelerating in 3rd gear and it feels like is slips out and back into gear. That is the best way I can explain it. There is no doubt my jetting needs...

This issue popped up about two weeks ago. I am working on the jetting but I am using a jetting setup that did not cause this problem in the past. Last Saturday I rode to a buddies place which is about a 35 minute ride one way. The issue seems to be getting worse. Before the bike would cruise...

Carb jetting effects all gears. My issue is only in 3rd gear....

The bike runs great in all gears except 3rd. It only does the hesitation when accelerating, putting a load, in 3rd gear. If I had jetting issues or ignition issues I should see problems in other gears.

Since this problem showed up a week ago I have left the jetting and road the bike with open stacks, stacks with filters and pods. In that video I was running pods. In all cases every gear is fine except 3rd. Wouldn't a rich or lean jetting effect all gears not just 3rd?

This must have everyone stumped...

I have a 1975 CB550 with about 200KM on it this season without issue. About a week ago while working on carb jetting I noticed while accelerating the bike would have multiple hesitations in a row until red line. Some info on my bike: Dynoman DP592 SV pistons 10.5:1 Pamco Ultimate ignition...

Re: Mikuni Group Buy - December 2103 I am in for a Keihin CR26

As per the msg above, can we set a timeline for orders? Life changes can redirect funds so I do not want to wait too long.

Ok, we can discuss it when we are closer to placing the order.

For the CR26 can I choose the needle and jet sizes

Sounds good to me. Thanks

Any plans on another group buy? I am in the market for CR26 carbs.

A new screw and retapping is definitely an option but hopefully someone knows of a source for the part. I am not sure what the part is called? I guess I could look for a cheap bar end as well.
