jetting


Recommended Posts

If you are dead on now, you will need to go up a size or two with the clamp-ons. However, 350 sounds way big for your mods. I would clean the carbs out really good, and also check for air leaks. Then do another chop with the 350's, and see if anything changes.

 

did that last plug chop :thumbsup: my clip is all the way up so I run A little cooler putting w/ my daughter but that shouldn't effect plug chop

I couldn't remember what was in there so I got 'em apart now was supprised to see 350 :shrug:

Id leave it and see what happens. Your clip was all the way up,. thats the leanest setting,. so if you filter need more juice,. you could always lower it first. Over 350 is pretty extreme. Youll probley just need to turn in the air screw a half or so and drop your clip a notch or 2. Once it gets hotter out, the motor will run richer too.

Why is the needle that rich.

In my experience...that main is way rich for your bike, elevation and temps.

 

However, ojcool will back me on this, plugs don't lie....

(Sorry, had to...)

 

:yelrotflmao:

 

If you're putting around on the bike with your daughter, having the needle on the richest setting will foul plugs more than anything....

 

How does it run with the needle in the middle??

 

Putting pods on should lean the jetting out. So...I'd take one run with the pods at the same jetting you have now.

If it still shows good, something is wrong, or the plug chop is not being done correctly....

 

If the jetting is spot on now....the plugs should be white as rice when you chop. You should need to go 360 to 380 on them mains....

its A little blubbery just b4 the pipe, runs great wot 1-6... did plug chop correctly...haven't fouled A plug yet ...will redo w/ current set up & w/pods tomorrow, wont be able to rejet since nobody has 300+ jets in stock...I still have the last plug will post it for opinions,I thought 350 was way high & was supprised to see them in there...do plugs lie?

based on that pic, your mains are spot on. Leave them.

 

Plugs don't lie...but, they also can't tell you if there's something wrong with your motor. If you're sure the carbs are cleaned out and in good working order....it is what it is.

 

Fix the air screws next...they're the easiest...

 

Warm the bike up, turn each screw all the way in, then out .5 turns. Wait 20 seconds. Keep turning it out .25 to .5 turns at a time (waiting 20 seconds between turns) to get the highest idle. Bike has to be warm to set them this way..

 

Then I'd say play with the needle...but, seeing as how you're gonna lean it out by putting pods on it....leave the needle for now.

 

Good luck!!

my mains say 350, my mods are in my sig... my plug chop said dead on ...350 seams high doesn't it...i'm @ sea level & here is A pic of my current lid w/ K&N & outerwares going to K&N 6" clamp on's

 

Thanks Dave

dave, didn't you buy the bike used? are you sure the jugs weren't ported? are the jets clearly stamped with a "3" and not with a "2" for the first #? i agree, the plug looks good. i'm not trying to bust your balls but "350" does seem large. before i had my stock jugs ported my setup was damn near the same as yours. except i didn't have v-force reeds, and i ran a dual stage foam filter without the lid instead of the K&N filter with the lid. i know the K&N flows better than the dual stage foam, but i don't think it would be that big of a difference especially since you're running a lid and i was't. if i remember correctly i used "280" mains and stock pilots, i forget the needle position. hopefully you don't have an airleak. if everything checks good and you find that you need larger pilots and you can't get them locally let me know and i'll mail them to you. i have 27.5 pilots if you need them.
