Does anyone know a shop or person who can tune an XR600r near London? I have a couple of small glitches I need looked at...the bike has a carb from a CRF 450 I believe and at full throttle some times it seems to flood its self or something, loses power for a moment then is fine until opened up again...I would also like the suspension tuned too...
Thanks in advance.

The early years did. Mine did (1985 model I think), and a 17 inch rear which was a pain.

Re: Bike Tuning near London
check the air filter is clean
and check the fuel filter, might be dirty and causing fuel restriction
also, maybe try turning the petrol tank tap or petcock to the reserve position and see does that make any difference, just in case theres a problem with the petcock or tank tap that's causing fuel restriction to the carbs etc etc

Mines a 96 model...so single carb, guy I recently bought it from was a mechanic and did the mods, I don't think he rode it once he completed rebuild...I will suss out the things noted here and hopefully I can sort myself then
