Where are you located? US market 1000cc Monolever bikes should all have 32mm carbs. That said, the heads for 40mm carbs are slightly different and it's possible that along with the dual plugs the PO wanted to make some mods. I have an R100/7 with 32s and an R100RS with 40s and I actually prefer the ...

Pix in my post are from Northern California and Southern Oregon. Call it the State of Jefferson:

I've lived the past 25 years in the area on both sides of the existing border.

I have actually been riding a bit at night lately after taking up West Coast Swing dancing. Strictly commuting and keeping it to slab when available after dark because we have deer ALL OVER here. Like this one in my front yard: https://photos.smugmug.com/Animals/i-VDC29NR/0/KWnJbvVmP6Mxr5F22SsPpDJ2x...

I've had no issues getting my street-tired bikes to any sensible dirt road destination, like a hiking trailhead and the like: https://photos.smugmug.com/Adventures-2019/i-2TJwdXq/0/LxhMzMc4SrCsfRK9mmfRqnNq9WShc8jhKJJsbR7QV/XL/299Falls051520191-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Adventures-2019/i-jvdp...

Yes, you'll be filing the rings to proper spec for end gaps. 1st OS rings will overlap in a standard bore.

Thanks! This will be one of the jobs I'll need to do for my RS.

No, don't worry about overheating. Especially if you make a point of filtering in stopped car traffic as much as possible.

I've done colossally daft things in high temps lugging my Airheads up steep dirt roads (lots of load on the motor and no airspeed to cool things) and had no problem whatsoever.

Some of them do have it and some of them don't.

My dome top #64 carbs (32mm) don't have the spring but my #94 carbs (40mm) do have the spring.

All four of my bikes are 1975 to 1979 and I like that as far as keeping spares about. My son had a stripped down 1986 R80RT Mono project for a while (before he came to his senses and bought an SV650SF!) and the electrical and instrumentation and controls looked all foreign to me. The transition to M...

Glad this is resolved! I actually like the grub screw and made a point of adding it to a bike that didn't have one. I have mine set to hold position with my hand off the grip and it reduces fatigue on a long day (500 miles is not unheard of in my travels) and makes me a smoother rider going through ...
