This is interesting! So cutting the spring makes the throttle action lighter, but to the point of annoyance for some people. But what does drilling the slide...
Ok people think you all should check out this site I came across the other day,it tells you all about tuning the BST40 carb,it even has pictures showing all of...
Fantastic! That's a valuable resource and has got my weekend all tied up now! Based on that article, I think I'll drill my slide and then maybe lop off a coil...
Yeh I thought it was pretty good myself. I changed my pilot fuel jet to the one recommended,and changed my main jet to a 175 and drilled my slide,but I didn't...
Had a real shi*ty day today. Went for a bit of a ride with a mate and the output shaft oil seal on the Duke2 gave up flinging oil onto my rear tyre. Not nice...
... This seems to happen rather too often:( Mine failed on D1 immediately after fitting new sprockets and chain. Fortunately I noticed the rear was all over...

Sorry to hear about your spill - err, no pun intended! Maybe I'll try it without chopping the spring to start with... Thanks again, hope you get yours sorted! ...
I searched the archive and came up blank, so does anyone have a brand and source of/for frame sliders for a 1997 (if it make a difference)? thanks, Walter...
Although I can't commit 100% yet, a friend (motard'd 525) and I are planning to go to the open practice at OVRP in NY on 4/9. Anyone else going? Is the track...
Yes give it a whirl without chopping the spring,like I say I didn't chop mine and there is bags of quick power. You can always chop it at a later date if you...
How many links in a 2000 Duke II stock chain? 5/8" x 1/4" is 525, correct? Anyone have recommendations on a chain, or are the X vs O ring wars over? Toby...
There is no reason to buy a non o ring chain. o ring = no maintenance and the amount of horsepower you might be costing yourself would only matter if you were...
I will be there on the 9th if the weather is permiting. There has been a few guys in the past running Dukes at the track. I am going to take my SMC out there...
... Mine was a KTM OEM part, but not having done the job before I needlessly disturbed the spacer behind the washer when changing the sprocket. Still, it was...

Yup, sounds like the best plan - didn't get round to it over the weekend (too much work on the house to do), but I'll be having a go this weekend coming......
Hey Dukesters -- Sweet relief for spring is here! Finally. Hell of a New England winter. Two questions: anyone have problems with the kickstand springs...
I got less than 3k miles on my DukeII before it snapped a mile from work during morning rush hour. Lucky for me I have a friend that is nice enough to run...
Had 11K on mine and doing fine but I put a Magura on anyway. Need to make sure you have the zip tie / tubing thing on by the lever perch to keep it aligned...
