A word on tuning.....ok a few words !

On the bantam forum there has been a few topics raised on how to tune your bantam......i am know expert by a long shot but thought i would do some investigations on how one should proceed. The first thing most tuners put a the beginning of there articles on tuning is........make sure the bike runs right before you start , this got me thinking   in several bike manuals (especially old ones) tuning is referred to as what you might call maintenance.....make sure your tyres are in good order with the correct tyre pressures...... make sure gear box oil is changed at regular intervals.......keep the air filter clean........make sure your brakes work perfectly .......check the spark plug......check the points........check the timing.......clean the carb and check its no air leaks......i know what your thinking (because i was) BORING I KNOW ALL THIS SIMPLE STUFF....this maybe true but if you think about it .....it makes sense so before we start to tune lets TUNE ! I was looking through this months classic bike mag and behold an article on tuning and yes bantams get a mention .....basically the bloke that wrote the article can tune your bantam to 80mph without braking the bank.........I'm not too bothered but if you are give him a call Fahron engineering wighay road hucknall nottinghamshire ng158ah 01159634123
