Second fail on emissions, I have a r1 on carbs although I think the carbs have been upgraded.
Any advice on how to get a pass.

Carbs look standard to me fella.

post about -how- it failed!

mine took some blumming doing.. passed second time round but had to learn a heck of a lot in a short space of time to work out what/why/how to fix it.

are you high on CO?
high on HC?
High or low in Lambda?

I started with HUGELY over on HC - lean misfire meant dumping unburned fuel into exhaust.
once that was fixed I was high on CO..
That suggested the Catalytic converter was past its best.
once a new cat was fitted, Lambda was out (high = either running too lean or a leak in the exhaust)
found a tiny leak, fixed that, passed!

so thats all 3 values catered for, what did you fail on?

(edit) looking at photo archive, you havent got a rubber hose attached to the rear carb , so that suggests either youve didtched the AIS system or you have a 4xv. either way, thats a good sign... the AIS system pumps air into the exhaust to burn HC's to improve emissions, but also seems to give a false lambda reading.

Disclaimer, i am no mechanic or carbs/emissions expert, take the above with a large pinch of salt!

Received a e-mail from mark (MNR) he said he will sort it. Thanks again for help from everyone.
Hope to be on the road first week in August. Just in time for my Holidays.
