Wouldn’t r.u.n. / start,
Changed Coils / HT leads / Plugs
Cleaned carbs – bought a carbtune and balanced them
Fresh fuel.
Now will run – but sounds “odd” – I’ll post a video later but need to get some food right now.
As well as sounding odd it has very little power and that normal kick in the **** you get when you hit about 5/6k just doesn’t happen anymore.

I am at the end of my tether – been dicking around with it for 2 days solid now, and have managed to burn every extremity I have poked in my engine.
Very close to throwing in the towel and taking it to a bike shop GRRR $$$$$ < and don’t have many of them lol ($$$ not bike shops)

Any ideas ? The only thing I can think of right now is Special Sweet and Sour with Fried Rice.

Maybe tight valves? Could be time to adjust them.

Sounds as though you may have bad carbs or possibly vacuum leakage causing the rough running. Your engine balance shaft may be a bit too tight as well, as there is quite a lot of whining sound.
