Thankfully the ‘76 has a stiffer frame than the earlier ones. Handling has been okay as long as I keep in mind the era it’s from. But those brakes could sure use some upgrading lol.
Nice bike. I put new Higgspeed chambers on my restored purple '73 H2 about 14 yrs ago. Wish I didn't sell it because it's worth a fortune now. I noticed your labored breathing. You might want to have your cardiovascular checked out.
@@williamhiller3988 with the 35 pilots I’m 1.25 turns out. I ended up dipping the needle all the way. 105 mains with pods. Unfortunately The needles aren’t marked so I have no idea what they are. But now I’ve got the carbs off and making adapters to fit Mikuni TM 32 flat slides.
Hahaha I’m sure y’all had big smiles on your faces. These modern Bridgestone BT45’s make a world of handling difference on these bikes. Plus the frame on the ‘76 is much stronger than the previous years.
Man I remember those! Not much on handling and brakes but oh they could scream!

Looking forward to further test sessions! 😀
It’s going to be a rainy weekend. So good time to work at dropping the needles.
Higgspeed are really good chambers. I cannot remember, but 95 jet size sound right.
@@marktiller1383 95’s worked very good with this setup. Love the sound.
I have 112.5 main jets and seems about right on my KH500 with Dencos and K&N air filters.
@@guycarlos3169 nice setup. Hopefully the 105’s aren’t too lean with the Higgspeeds and the UNI’s.
I had 105s at first but it would fall flat at full throttle so went up to 112.5s and it did the trick. @@charliestoybox2099
@charliestoybox2099 I had 105s but went up a few more sizes because it falls flat at top end with 105s.
@ appreciate this info. I figured if it ran good on top with the 105’s, I’d still try going richer till she slows down.
@charliestoybox2099 do you mind if I ask what unifilters are you going with? I wanna get a set for my bike.

Thanks, ive been checked out. Been that way ever since I got Covid. Sucks but it is what it is. Doesn’t slow me down.
I had the 1976 KH 500 with denco expansion chambers..
@@markrambo3 I’m sure it sounded sweet ❤️
@@charliestoybox2099 not only did it smell sweet it sounded amazing...
Do an old man a favor and publish your settings. I have the same issues with mine, same setup. Thanks!

Appreciated. I'll try it, thanks.
Nice
Sounds identical to my vmax700 sled at idle
Just need to hook those new motors to trannies and stuff em into bikes.
Might drop the needles 1 notch
Yup, that’s what I did last weekend. Update video to come in the future.
My m8 pinched his dads H2 when we were kids in the 90s nearly killed me lol prob the worst handling bike ever lol
