    thanks

    ive just took the reed block off and the reeds where chipped. They were malossi caron fibre reeds and i have now change them to stock ones will i need to re jet?

    and also when i took the reed block off i found out it still had the standard restricted manufold on it so i have put a derestricted one on, will i have to re jet?
