KaosBanshee44 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I don't know that all sounds crazy to me cause i live in texas and the temps don't change that much. Ofcourse heat expands no matter what but you would have to have a big change in temp to have to rejet that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse heat expands no matter what but you would have to have a big change in temp to have to rejet that's just me. It all depends where you live.For example here we have some pretty good temp swings,Sunday it was 77 out and today it's going to be 49.In the summer we are usually around 100 or so and in winter we get to 22-35 most of the time.

NYUK Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 cold air is more dense= more fuel. bigger mains for the temp drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Another option is adding power jets. Not too bad if you are already making mods or changing carbs. You can set your carbs in summer with them mostly closed and when it cools off you just open them up till your plugs read right. (Also, Dial-a jet kits would work.) Otherwise you will have to change the mains as mentioned above. Either way, when it cools off and you rejet you need to do a plug chop to check your jetting. Do a forum search on PLUG CHOP. That will explain how to properly jet the carbs. Edited October 18, 2007 by brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Just make sure you dont run an oil that has caster oil in it. It suposedly seperates out and at colder temps (lower 30's). How bad it seperates out I dont know. Take some of your premix and put it in a pop bottle and put it in the freezer. See if the caster oil chunks up or still stays a liquid and keeps blended if your shake it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duner440 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Make sure you let the bike warm up too. You dont want to hop on it and just go out and rape it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
