Engine Missing 5 Months ago  
While crusing steady at about 30MPH in second or 40MPH in 3nd there is a small intermittent miss in the engine what should I adjust nest to try to get rid of miss.

Bike runs great except for that little miss

Sorry, can't help with your problem...however, when I read the title of the thread a vision of a bike frame without an engine came to mind. Thought I wanted to see that picture. Any rate, perhaps I better slow down on the beer. Happy 4th!!

Re:Engine Missing 5 Months ago  
not sure if I would blame it on the carb, has the carb been running good in the past, or have you had this problem for a while..Might want to look at the plugs and the related ignition system..

agreed. if the set up hasn't changed look at the plugs,wires, and coil. As a coil or wires break down they will cause this when hot.

Re:Engine Missing 4 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
RoadieSL...I think I had the same problem, I would hold the throttle real steady in town and notice a little "hesitation, missing". Not very noticable but it bugged me. I moved the needle clip from the 4th to the 3rd notch and it quit. I tryed messing with the pms but it didnt help. (Thinking I was getting to much fuel). That was before I switched the airbox though and completely redid the jetting.. havent had it since then.
