Re: Arrow Sport bad starting

Hello, The engine in the Arrow shown has alloy cyclinders and was mildly tuned by Fahron so uses slightly different jets in the Mikuni carb but I'll check what they should be in a standard engine and get back to you. Brian H.

Re: Arrow Sport Front Brake

Hi, I was going to mention a heavier cable or just a good quality cable to make the brake a bit better but Bernie got there first.
