jag706 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Yup guys, you can all say it with me now J A C K A S S!!! I found that out the hard way . I finally tried to jet it and lets say am on round two. The funny thing is that when I put the pipes on the bike never felt that it had to be rejetted. It ran clean through the gears and started up perfect wich made me feel like leaving the stock setup alone (#25 pilots & 200 main jets) but i figured that would be starving the engine. I put a 270 main and changed the needles over to the jet kit ones and left it in the third clip. It is hard to start with the stock pilot jet and it doesnt idle and it is really hard to get going but revs out really nice only at WOT up top. I went to the dealer to order pilot jets 26 - 27.5 but they said the next size up is a 30. So I know I probably ordered the wrong shit again but here we go again. Maybe if I take off the box lid and take the screws out 3 turns it might run? If not I will be visiting www.carbparts.com or just put stock pilots in with the snorkel back on. I don't know but I'll figure it out Oh by the way banshee04le I think the designer of these pipes should be shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Very often, when the bike is in a fairly lean condition it can seem as it's running as good as it's ever ran, except it'll be a little short on power, but unless you really run it hard, you might not notice too much and just keep running it, then BOOOM!

jag706 Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Ladies and gentlemen, the result are in and, IT'S GOOD!!! my shee is running on point and I have you guys to thank for it . It pulls alot harder and sounds great while doin' it. I ended up ordering the pilot jets (again ) this time from carbparts.com and let me tell you they fuckin' rock I ended up with a #27.5 pilot and 270 main with the kit needles on the 3rd clip, no snorkel, and K&N air filter. SWEEEEET. The DG pipes are cool for now but if she's good to me I'll treat her to a nice pair of chrome T5 Toomeys for next summer. But for now am just happy to be ridin' again, time to go tear up some trails, laters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for now am just happy to be ridin' again, time to go tear up some trails, laters That's what I did...and the beauty of it is the only jetting change you "might" need to do when you go with the T-5's is maybe bump your pilot up to a 30...maybe Who knows though, my shee might just like a fat pilot Good luck to ya!

Screamin_Banshee Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 DG's arent bad pipes at all. They do have set-backs, but if the price was right, run em! Only things I found was, the ones I had didnt have o-ring flanges and they didnt clear the petcock (like said before). Other than that, they were good pipes! If tuned prorperly, they will rip, and run with alot of the other pipes. Sounds like u got it running well- just check the plugs every so often. Those little babies are the most valuable part of the engine, without them u cant run, and they tell you whats goin on with the motor.
