How well do you know moto mechanics?

18/20. I missed the jet needle clip question and I know why. Sheesh! I should have paid more attention to the nuance of the question. I played with my jets and needles so much on my ZX11 (4 carbs) I think I was almost an expert. I had her running perfectly.

You raise the clip, you lower the needle and it runs leaner. Lower the clip, you raise the needle and it runs richer. I read the question as raising the needle only.

I got all the suspension questions correct from learning how to tune my track bike suspension.

18 out of 20. Guessed a couple correctly. Guessed one wrong and was absolutely sure about one wrong one.

I got 18/20. The question about moving the clip on a needle just I misread (confused up with down) and the other missed question I just didn't know. Ha!
 
Also consider just because the person knows, it doesn't make him a good mechanic. I know guys that are very intelligent, but they just don't give a damn!

Other than cursing at lawn mowers and chainsaws, I haven't touched a carb since 1986 when the US was blessed with the K75
