fantic xmf 125 tuning for real pull without noisy mistakes
I am helping with fantic xmf 125 tuning on a bike that feels flat on a long hill. The owner wants a pipe first, but I want to check if the basics are stealing power.
I found this related page while comparing notes: fantic xmf 125 tuning. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you check valve history, plug, air filter, intake leaks, chain slack, sprockets, brake drag, tire pressure, battery voltage and the same hill before exhaust or ECU parts?
