Good Rolling Road in Kent
Can anyone recommend a good rolling road in Kent. I have just bought my Tiger and it needs a tune up. It is a 2.0L Pinto running twin Delorto
45's.
Also whats sort of money should i be looking at?
I am based in Maidstone.
Cheers

My 2l pinto running twin 45s cost me £150 flat rate to be tuned. I think they did it cheaper as it had already been set up just needed tweaking to get
the emissions done for SVA. I think they normally charge £75 per hour.
All depends if the carbs have been set up on your engine already, if they are jetted for another engine it can take a while which is when it starts
costing.
After tuning although slighly down on power due to emissions tune, it ran so much better and feels alot quicker. He said about taking it back after
SVA for a power tune and he could still retain the drivability.

Spoke to BD Engineering in Sittingbourne this morning, they have got a rolling road. Said £94 plus parts, would take a couple of hours. I have got
the jets in the Carbs and some old ones that came out of it so i will take them along.
