Re: Suzuki sierra weber carb

Its been along time since I had mine but with the gearing I had at 90km the throttle was only just on so it was ok on fuel.
Once the secondaries are open thats when you will start using more fuel.

Re: sagged front spring on soa

And to add to the original post, my front springs sagged pretty bad until I made correct length bump stops to stop the springs inverting too much. The d/s is flat but the p/s has a slight arch still after a ...

Thanks mate. Yes Im adjusting the shoes as far as I can till you have to almost force the drums on and you can feel they are just grabbing. There is no lip on the drums but I thought maybe they were too worn but the pedal is only moving bout 2-3" max before going hard so there is plenty of travel to ...

Mines not finished yet but they are the same as the sierra ones, the hardline closest to the firewall goes to the front of the m/c and the front hardline goes to the rear of the m/c.
Buy the way I got my prop valve and I pick up the new lines tommorrow to adapt it so I,ll report how it goes.

Reading on izook the prop valve they sell starts at somthing like 70% - 30% bias not sure if they are all the same.
I think the outback I got my m/c from had discs all around but I run disc/drum.
Im going to try to get a prop valve installed Im sure that will help alot.

My early model front is 1455 wms to wms and the rear is 1410 wms to wms.
But all the spec sheets I found state 1430 for the front? When measuring actual diffs they were more like the 1455 1410 measurements I got though.
Hope that helps Nik
