pweezy42 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 ok so since ive added my k&n w/modquad adpter i cant get the shee dialed in. i finally got the low end bog from idle to go away by dropping the clip to the 2nd from the bottom, but now it feels like when at WOT it seems very flat and not pulling as hard, any ideas?

A little more info is needed. What carbs, current jets, and elevation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streakx Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 If it revs easy but not much power ... you are lean ... try 1 or 2 size up on mains and see what happens Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcrano Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) mods are in my sig, stock carbs, when i out in the k&n and modquad adapter i moved from 270 mains to 290 dont know what pilot size and as farr as elevation i am 770 above sea level did it get better from the 270s to 290s?if worse go back down,but i would say go more.u just added more air flow so its gonna want to lean the whole system.the needle has nothing to do with wot so that didnt hurt it.go 300,310.did u do a plug chop???

pr0blumz Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I was running T5s and pod filters with a 280 main at sea level. I'm thinking you may be a little rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pweezy42 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 no i did not do a plug chop, when i added k&n i jumped it to 290 i ran the 270 but didnt open it up at all just to ride the bike back home since i have to work on it a few blocks from my house.

TwistedSheeRida Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I say lean that out too, that rich. My buddy runs T5s no airbox with adapter and K&n 270 mains at 280 ft above sea level. Im running 260s with fmfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 It is always easier to go rich then lean. I will always jet up before I jet down. Unless I know im rich and need to jet down. IE Temp has gone up 30deg sense last ride. Depending on your temp. I would start with the 290 but that should be rich. Remember that Changing the mains will mess with the needle. But not much to really dick with unless your trying to get every little last penny out of it. The air screw is most effective between idle through 1/8 throttle. The pilot (slow) jet is most effective between 1/8 through 1/4 throttle. The jet needle is most effective between 1/4 through 3/4 throttle. The main jet is most effective between 3/4 through wide-open throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pweezy42 Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 plugs are dark and oily at 290 so move up to 300 maybe 310? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko2000 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Whats good Paul Its going to be tuff to read the plugs without doing a wide open run I had t-5s and all the bolt ons and i ran 310's Every bike is so freaking different though. I would bump the main a size or 2, see if it helps or hurts ya. If it gets worse than start dropping the main down a size at a time until that bitch goes braaaaaaaabraaaaaaaaaaabraaaaaaaaabraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa than your good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr0blumz Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 plugs are dark and oily at 290 so move up to 300 maybe 310? No, you need to go down and do a plug chop. Why didn't you try the 270 mains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcrano Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 plugs are dark and oily at 290 so move up to 300 maybe 310? no if they are dark u gotta go down,but was that tested at wot?if not it could be pilot,needle adjustment.u gotta do a wot and look at em.im sure ull prob have to drop tho given the info.

fastbanshee8 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 An easier way to tell, whether you're rich, or lean, is to pull the choke. If the problem gets worse, you're too rich on the main, and if it runs better, you're too lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
