NC24 flat spot - any tips?

My NC24 is running a bit rough to say the least. I'm gonna get the carbs balanced and i'm gonna get them off and remove any varnishing caused by stale fuel. Can anyone suggest a replacement end can perhaps (?) or anything else to that effect. I'm new to the area where i live and haven't found any trusty garages yet.

A new end can won't help the flat spot.

I believe that Viper make end cans for the NC24. I'm not sure but I think that M&P do them...

Clean out the carbs and get them balanced properly and you won't regret it!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Hi

Also check the diaphragms in the carbs.

All the best

Wahay, thanks guys...my first ever discussion on a forum... i feel all warm and part of something!! I am confident about the diaphrams thanks Keith, i've had the carbs off before when i was doing it up so i know that they're all clean and in good condition. As for the balancing i'll get that done and see how it goes, I might even invest in the Vacuum 'thingies' and do it myself. As for the can the current one is on it's way out so i'll check out the M&P catalogue for a new one, the standard ones are like rockin horse s**t to find, as are all bits for grey imports. Think i'll get myself a nice standard British spec bike next! Very Happy

NC24s just have a big flat spot at 5500 rpm. The cure is to not rev that low.

...are you suggesting that i am riding my bike like a puff? It's obvious that the peak torque is at the top end of the rev range but it's gargling it's way through the mid range. I'll go for carb balancing. Thanks for the advice.
