dajogejr Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Two things. With the airbox lid still on, put the stock pilot back in...I don't care what FMF says. Second, they make a tool called a syncrometer. PM or call Jeff of FAST racing on here, it's a priceless tool. FASTOYS is his screen name.... You use it to set idle, then give it about 1/4 throttle or so, and check again to make sure they're pulling the same amount of air through 'em... I'd also put the needle back to the middle spot. It sounds like you're really rich off the bottom. For that matter, 270 sounds rich on the main with the airbox lid still on. What do your plugs look like? I'd bet they're dark....

dajogejr Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think you're rich on the jetting. Put the stock pilots back in first. Warm the bike up on old plugs. Then, put new ones in...and do a plug chop. In the top of this page, there's a stick on how to jet/read plugs. Read that carefully...it'll tell you all you need to know about reading the plugs, how to tune by 'em and how they should look. Get to it!!

bigbill Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 hey should i pull of the lid or ever put in the little filiter's that go in the lid or leave it on what do you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 If you plan on riding in mud and water, leave the lid on with holes and filters for them. If you just plan on riding in dirt/dust, remove the lid. However, the lid helps hold the filter on and seal it. You will need to buy a pro-flow or similar adapter to bolt the filter to the front of the airbox for it to seal properly without the lid. Your call.
