To start off I'm a noob with tuning.
My bike (Honda cb360) is out of tune. Way out. I haven't touched it for the whole summer and last year it was running like crap and I wasn't able do much to it either (family obligations came first but on the upside while taking a break from my bike I somehow managed to get a wife).
Now I'm ready to start working on it again. But where do I start to get the right baseline to begin tuning/reliable running?
I don't have stock (or close to stock) mufflers just some shorty pipes with no baffles (old ones are full of holes and rust). I know my charging system is good because I just changed it out the summer before last (this may be overcharging as well and has pretty much killed my battery -I think-). My carbs are/were clean last time I had them off (summer before last). My air filters have just been rebuilt (by me) using the old airboxes and new filter paper (I don't know if this was a mistake or not that may be causing more issues than it was worth).
If someone has a small checklist of where I should start that would help immensely!
I'd like to put a new smaller battery in so if there's any suggestions on size/where to get on I'd love to hear those too.
Last but not least of course money is an issue. (as always)
Thanks guys!
