falcon23 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I just purchased the factory pro jet kit and I have started to install it. But, I was told to use 142s all across. My kit only came with 2 of the 142s and came with 4 of all the others (145, 148, 150) My bike is a 98 and the only mod, if you consider it a mod, is a K&N air filter. Am I for sure supposed to use the 142s? How many should have come in the kit? Also, I was reading the parts list on the kit and it lists that it is only supposed to come with 2. If so, which ones do I use for the other 2? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CxBXR Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Use the 142 on the inside carbies Use the 145 on the outside carbies. do not put the same #'s side to side. I have heard about this from other bike forum's but didnt know the bird was the same way. P.S. I also thought 142 all the way across.

I was just told from a guy on another xx forum that the stock jets on carbs 2 and 3 (the inside 2 carbs) are already 142s. They said you just need to replace the jets on carbs 1 and 4 (the 2 outside carbs) They told me not to use the 145s until I get aftermarket exhaust.

Yes I believe that is correct that the inners are already 142's, that would be why there are only 2 included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pleasantly surprized how much of an improvement there was. I mean....WOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajjer9 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The best advice I can give you is to do a search from a former (and very missed) member whose name was Maxx. I spoke with him and he played around with the jets on his 97 and found the perfect combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
