I would've thought that too till I read this...

Now I understand the reason it was so flat down low in the first place.
What are you on about?
We bought this bike with no compression and needing a rebuild. Also no bottom end power.
So we rebuilt in,
Porting the barrels not for top end only but right through the rev range. Which it has done.
O-ring the heads to give higher compression which also improves bottom end.
Bike did improve and goes great.
But comments like yours makes me wonder why I bothered sharing this on here!!!

I'm sorry if you took what I said the wrong way, but it was the first time youd even mentioned porting the barrels, let alone how they had been ported. More often than not people will port for massive top end, which is what I had wrongly assumed, but you hadn't really given us much to go on.

Nice one dirk
To anyone who maybe interested.
Our result for carby setting was,
25 pilot
150 main
And needle full rich.
Works fine better bottom end power.
Seems to be harder to start but
I am trying to remove the bottom end bog, and I have lowered the needle from stock, to the third groove,( will cause more lean conditions in low rpm.) will report back ASAP.
