Both with FCRs (I put them on before giving them the bike), the first is when they got her, the second when they finished.

The throttle response if miles better than the original mikunis, mostly due to the the injector pumps. The idle on mine is still a bit ropey, but I'm assured they can be set up to be no worse than the CVs with a little fine tuning.

Not sure what she was making before, but I'd be reckoning about 73bhp. Yours may also have a lightened flywheel as it's easy was to get the engine spinning freely.

No idea where the tank sludge could've come from. Wash it out with petrol and change the fuel filter a few times this summer. FCRs are notoriously bad for running rough when they get crap in them, so if she'd feeling a bit lumpy drop the bottoms off the carbs and give em a good clean.

Cheers,
