Default Honda Blackbird 1997

Hi All

I am thinking of buying the above bike. It has been fitted with viper cams. The vendor says its running sluggish but says he bought it like this. Could anyone shed some light on why this would be happening? The vendor suggests it may need to go on a dyno-jet?

Thanks

cam timing may be off or carbs not set up to handle them. without more info, it's just guessing...

welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum!

My first guess would be the carbs.
