high should i have a slight hesitation during tick over like one cylinder was not quite firing every so often. . or should it be constantly smooth . . Question

Depends on the revs at tick over if you are idling at below 900 it may seem a bit lumpy, a check would be to see with neon spark plug testers if the miss corresponds with a missed flash. Does the bike ever miss when it is running at constant revs on the road?

I've been thru a few different motors lol and none of them idle perfectly smoothly,there always seem to be the odd hiccup.

The fuelling is very lean at tickover on most K's...although I have seen variations with different FI controllers and airflow meters.

Try adjusting the idle air bypass screw on the airflow meter.Turning in will richen the mixture a touch,which should help smooth the idle.

K's are set at stoichiometric air fuel ratio.. at idle 14.7:1....If I were tuning a carburettor bike I would set it as rich as the bike wanted.My (hinkley)bonneville is 12:1 at idle,

Mine never last long enough to worry about lead replacement additives.Whoops!

However,I'm never going to run on shell Vpower again and I am going to look at additives,preferably ones with lubricating qualities.

When we first got unleaded petrols there was definitely a difference at tickover,I always found my bikes idled at higher rpm on unleaded than good 'ol 4star.
