dont they have an online calculator for this purpose? plug in rider wieght, bike weight, riding style, etc... EDIT: my bad, wont work for mono-shocking. call them. supposedly great customer service

how was it "broken in"? if it was eased in, do the opposite and run it hard. put a heavy strain on the engine, vary the rpms, as in get them up high (under load) and then drop back down, preferably coasting the bike at high speed back down to lower speeds. if the rings havent been seated...

sounds like plug wires (you found), and why not coils while you're on it. Coils, when beginning to fail, heat up and expand (very slightly of course) and the can begin to short out through their outer casing. Happened to me on a 125. It would start, run for 5 minutes (getting me about 1-2...

one thing at a time. make sure the cables work, but it uses a push/pull system, so you should be able to "push" the carbs shut with the throttle grip. Bench sync them first. This involves making sure the slides clear the carb body opening at the same time at WOT position. Once this is done...

Ive seen angled uni filters work, and there's no reason the green "sock"style filters shouldnt either. Plus you lose the metal end cap with these, which can make tuning difficult/impossible.

http://www.z1enterprises.com/Ignition-Coil--Universal--12-Volt-4139.aspx less than 15 bucks, done. hell, get both. dont forget some new wires - chances are they arent too far behind the failing coil

Just curious, did you have the carbs apart? are they clean? dont attempt a final tune if they need a clean/rebuild. If they are recently rebuilt, "bench sync" them i.e. eyeball it or use two lengths of metal rod, as mentioned. I open the throttle all the way open and make sure they open past...

the carb soak bucket from napa or autozone works well. soda blast if you've got the gear
