    I got my pipe fitted and my ped de restricted and ever since as soon as i ride my bike for the first 40 metres or so im full throttling and it just makes a horrible coughing sound and stays at about 5 mph then slowly increases to about 10 i would say. It slowly builds up to sound normal but it dosent sound healthy attall. After this 40 metres it is fine and sounds normal again. Its just everytime i start it up and also if its been left for over 15 20 minutes it will do it aswell. I have a 58 jet in at the moment. Please help much appreciated thanks ;)

    Damm you didnt really need to fiddle with them now you have to mess around with them again to set carb up properly. When fitting a pipe and derestricting a ped all you need to do is upjet carb around 5-10%
