Newbie with some Baghira questions

[Taipan]

Hi All

Just picked up an 2002 Baghira. A few things need attention though so I have a couple of questions for now and probably some to follow!
Firstly I have some play on the bobbins on the front disc so am looking for a replacement. From what I've read in the archives an R1 R6 one from 99-02 will fit the Baggy OK, can anyone confirm that?

Secondly I feel the Baghira is really struggling to breathe properly. As far as i know its all standard. However I do have a BSM Vampire to go on there (keeping DB killer in). I've just spent a few hours trawling the archives but cant really find a definitive answer about adjusting the fuelling. It does appear a re-jet isn't necessary but adjusting needle height works well with this exhaust? This is where it gets confusing. Some say one notch down on the primary carb and one notch up on the secondary. Some say just one notch down on the secondary etc etc. Anyone got a Baghira with a BSM on? How did you adjust your fuelling? Or is there a general consenus to what carb adjustments works best for this type of exhaust?

The diaphragm shim is mentioned as a worthwhile modification in the archives many times. Anyone made up their own one? Would the correct thickness plastic be okay? Thoughts?

Many thanks.

not plastic fuel will degrade it very quickly

Hi All
Thanks for the welcome. I think I've read all of anders posts and his website! Maybe I'll just try and make one up from some suitable material and see how I get on.
Best,
Taipan

Hi All
How does your bike start? Mine seems to be a bit of a sod to start? Choke on, no throttle and push the button until it starts. But it spins over quite a bit before it starts. Sometimes sort of backfires a bit too? Mixture screw was at 2.25 turns out Manual says 2.5 turns out. I got it at 3 now I've put the Vampire on which seems to have helped?
How is yours for starting?

mine starts straight away from cold but can take a few seconds when warm i think thats the same with most big singles though, it also used to back fire all the time when i throtled back but has now just stopped doing it which is a bit of a shame as i kinda liked it even though it did set the odd car alarm off

Metal is prefered for the shim/plate.

If you make a 3-4 mm distance 0,12" - 0,16" you will be good. You will need longer screws to assemble the cap again as well. Alternatively you get a prefabricated kit here: http://www.tunebike.de/English/Carburet ... retor.html

I had one of Tunebikes kits before I went for the Mikuni TM34-B65 upgrade and it cured all my problems above 3/4 throttle, much less expensive than the EUR 100 OEM part... and a permanent fix.
