My XTZ660 93' maintenance / problems and questions

[velja]

Anyone remembers if it is possible to remove top cover from carb without removing carburetor? I bought open exhaust and I need more fuel :|

The left hand carb cover comes off easily with the carbs mounted, the cover on the right looks like it could be difficult so never tried it.

I found 1 notch on the needle makes a big difference to carburration & when the engine feels rough you have gone too rich.

Vid of your new pipe please

My friend called back. His both breather hoses go underneath bike too like mine. There is no doubt that that's not a factory setup but I don't care anymore.

Tomorrow morning I will put the 2 extra T splitters in box where I keep my other garbage. I will put one hose in my left ear just to be certain that everything is in the place. Then I will put tank and fairings back and I am going to ride the damn thing until the sun goes down. I have juicy road nearby and I have friend on KLR. Fck the hoses.

If you need to do any serious water crossing, meaning up rround the bottom of motor, i suggest you move the bottom hoses up higher,like up near battery. Water in carb can be hard to fix.
