Are those Macadams cheap? WHy would Suzuki put them on there? IT seems to me that the Bridgestone's I bought for my GS750EF were reasonably priced and worked well. If the stock tires have such negative feedback from the riders, why continue putting them on there? DId suzuki buy 3 gazillion Macadams and say "oh no we have 3 gazillion Macadams we'd better put them on something!!" They are obviously not the worst tires I've driven on but if the Battleax tires are the same price or cheaper why not go with them?
Another quick question about the plugs in the carbuerators. First of all what a stuipid idea!!! I guess Suzuki has consulted psychics to guess what's going to be the best carbueration in all areas of the world and all temperatures and humidity and altitude!! I have a very slight stumbling problem with very small throttle inputs, not a big deal just needs a 1/4 turn out of the mixture screw and it's good to go. However, when I go to fix this minor problem I get a major problem, the damn screws are plugged! Nice! Anyway my question is that the plugs seem to have a small hole in the centre already dilled, say a mm diameter or less. It's almost like you could stick a small hook in there and then yank out the plug. So my quesions are:
1. Is the plug just held in there with friction, or is it glued or welded or whatever.
2. WIth the small hole already drilled in there has anybody taken a small hook like device like a dentists toothpick thingy and actually just pulled out the plug with no drilling or taking off the carbs?
3. For those that pulled out the plugs through another method such as just drilling a bit and bending the drill bit untill the plugs popped out, what was the force like? Was it hellish to get them popped out? Or was it a simple bit of pressure and they popped out themselves?
