After many years swearing at, and figuring out to a minor degree, Dellorto carbs, I am now facing an FCR on my 2006 FE450. I know near nothing about it. It works great, except..... when in slow going on tight trails the motor eventually develops a hesitation right off idle, where I like to blast out of corners. Seems to be heat related. I am guessing this to be the case, as the condition disappears when the bike is allowed to cool. I am actually thinking of running without the thermostat to see if there is a difference. I am running at 7500-9500', fuel there does vaporize a bit more readily. Does anyone have any advice about carb or bike set-up that might apply to this situation? Buzzard
