My Name is Bones and I am a Rocker. In 2004 I bought a 1971 Triumph Bonneville T120RV. Having grown up on Rock 'n Roll, it was not a far leap to find myself drawn to British Rocker Culture of the 1950's and 60's. My Occupation as a American Service Member has afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. with this bike I have been to the Arctic in Alaska, to the deep-dirty south of Lower Alabama to the white sand beaches of Waikiki to my current location near the city of Pyongtaek, in South Korea. My assignment here is for 12 months and I will chronicle my adventure here.

14 March, 2010

so it was looking like a decent day so I decided that some tuning was in order.

(For those who have not been following along this is a for a 1971 Triumph Bonneville 750cc and Mikuni VM 32 carbs)


The bike is running a little off, it just isn't transitioning well. It idles well. it runs at mid-throttle ok. And it flat out screams on the mains. my issues seems to lie in the transition from idle through the slide and onto the needle. things were just starting to gel with a 35 pilot, 6DH3 needle on the leanest setting, P-5 needle jet and a 230 Main, it started raining and cut my day short.


it is going to take more work obviously, I am looking forward to some warmer weather.
