ok - I'm totally new to all this biking malarkie, especially when it comes to the mechanical side of things (I've enrolled in a bike mechanic college course, but till then...)
on a gk76a, 1990, I've managed to replace all the plugs to get her running (a bit) and had some problems with the reg/rec wiring (which I had an electrician sort out) but she revs very poorly between 4-6k rpm... kinda spluttering and struggling in every gear and even neutral, but as soon as she hits 6k, she flies! Is this just a normal power band on the bike, or is mine poorly? currently topping at around 120mph at 13k in 5th... still need a run on a dyno, but any preliminary advice on this would be appreciated. oh... and as you're reading already - can LED indicators be fitted without messing with the flash unit?
