I'm running my K70s around 30, front and back. This may sound odd, but I love the feeling that the bike might fall over in the corners. I call this the 'flop'. My CB550 with K70s was the same way....

I sprayed the crap out of it with WD 40 and contact cleaner, but it didn't fix it 100%. If the switch landed in just the wrong spot, it got weird.

Then why was Rusty so absolutely sure that 32 Bings use shorter needles than the 40 Bings?

So I think I've tracked down the issue of the differing lengths on the new nozzle needles. The fiche at Maxbmw is wrong, in that it lists the part number for the 40mm carbs instead of the 32mm carbs....
