ASRBanshee Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I doubt you will have to change your jetting. You should be good with the jets you got now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopar1rules Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 you only have to rejet every 2000-3000 feet of elevation change, not every 300-400 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberneck Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hey man, do yourself a favor, do a plug chop. I have the same set up and have to run 330-340 mains at pismo. With airbox and foam filter no lid, i was 280-290 mains, but with the pods, i had to go up to 330-340s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberneck Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 cool ...i got extra plugs so no problem there...ill p/up a couple different size jets before i go ..... Yeah, jets are good to have on hand. When i first installed my Pods, nothing else changed, i threw some 300s in(2 sizes up from what was in bike) It would absolutely fall on its face and pep just as the powerband came on. I threw in some 320s because that was the biggest i had. Ran great, but plug chop showed very little color at all. I threw in some 340s and everything looked good on the plugs, and it ran great on top. Became a little doggy in the middle, and i ended up having to drop the needle down 2 notches to lean out the middle. It runs spot on now, couldn't be happier. Temp was in the 50s, so i could probably throw a 330 in there now and lean it back up a bit. I can hang with just about all stockish 4 strokes and usually out run them on the flats at pismo. The LTRs with a good rider are wheel to wheel as well as the piped raptor 700s. If the 4 poke has more than pipe and airbox, somethimes they will give you fits but not often. Some good porting on that thing and you will walk them all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
