Andy P in WA Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 PLEASE Dont slaughter me for the monotony :laugh: Any who, serviced bike on saturday and pissed about the amount of sand getting past my Pro Design foam filter so I am going to try the K&N Pods. Just was wondering how much this change may affect my jetting I am sure I will probably have to go bigger correct. Any input on how much bigger. Maybe 300? Here are current stats T5 Pipes VForce 3's 280 Mains 4th groove on needle #25 pilot 1.5 turns out Currently Pro Design Kit in box with air vents and no snorkle As Always Thanks to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 300 should work for ya, check the plugs though! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) On my 99 with T-5's when we went to pods we run 340 mains and 27.5 pilots and if my memory serves me right, the middle (third of six) clip on the needle. This bike runs real strong. Probably the strongest running/fastest stock stroke bike I have ever ridden. When we had the pro design plate and foam filter I'm pretty sure we had 300's and stock pilots, needle the same? That was a few seasons ago so I may be off on the needle clip. 300 sounds real small with pods.

rubberneck Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I had been running 25 pilots, air screw 1.5 turns, needle 4th clip from blunt and 290 to 300 mains(depending on temp) in my bike with foam filter in box with no lid. When i went to k&N pods with outerwears, I had to go to a 340 main and drop the needle two positions. Changes verified by plug chop. FWIW with the t5s, I left the stock pilots in and reduced the air screw by 3/4 turn. I would go up 4 mains and check plugs and go from there. Summary: i ended up at 340 main, clip in 2nd spot from blunt end on stock needle, 25 pilot, air screw 3/4 turns out with K&N pods, T5's and timing bumped to +4 at 60-70 degree F at sea level.

Wildcardracing Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 300 sounds real small with pods. Depends on elevation and temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Depends on elevation and temp. Not with pods. 300 is too small with pods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P in WA Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Thanks, I picked up jets from 300 to 340 also got set of 27.5 pilots. Gonna start with 320's, maybe 330's just to be safe, and go from there. Only problem with WOT testing Is I don't know of many places where I can get out and actually get through all the gears at WOT. But I will find a way. Are there any tricks to WOT testing where you don't necessarily have to ride the bike through the gears. Like blocking up rear and dragging the brakes to give resistance. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
