Just found this, and find it VERY interesting.. As an old MX rider, I'd love to see one of these vids about the tires that are fitted to speedway bikes. Thank you!

Love these technical talks. As a fan, it's amazing the blank looks one gets if one asks questions about gearing, carburettor jets and ignition timing when attending a meeting to people who should be in the know. Of course, it could be that they are acting dumb in case any information relevant to track conditions is passed on to the opposition! 😃

Im having problems with backfire coming through my carb and actually popping off of the engine. when it doesn't do that it sputters when I open the throttle. Ii have a float less blix style carb. can anyone help.

[@maddadd1]

Good Morning Champion

[@classicrider5274]

Can you explain a little more why the rider might want the engine to rev more or less from the optimum position?
