sk6f3 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I went from 42.5 pilots to 45, raised the stock needle 1mm, opened the slide hole (insert joke, no pun intended) 7/64, and borrowed a pilot screw adjustment tool. I have stock US mains for now. MAXX after you increased your pilot size, do you remember how many turns open you set you pilot screw? I am concerned that with 45s, 2.5 turns out may be too much.

86gn Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I would start with 2.5 turns out and see how it runs. Mine seems to be best at 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I also run with the same steup, out 2.5 turns. Pulled the plugs about 6 months ago...they've been in there since birth and the jet kit has been in for a couple years now. The plugs are a nice even tan. Tells me the carbs are mixing perfectly. Good luck. Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk6f3 Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 Thanks, I went with 2.5 turns out. Each of the pilot screws was set at 2.5 when I checked the previous setting. This was the only change I found from stock. The previous idle was just fine. I have reassembled up to the air filter, I am waiting for the K&N in the mail. If it does not come tommorrow, I may put the old dirty one in just to see how it runs. How much of a difference will the filter make? Have you run with out lower and center fairing panels, just for short test rides? I also installed a NEP throttle lock and it seems to work beautifuly, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Have you run with out lower and center fairing panels, just for short test rides? I know a guy that did a trackday with the panels removed. Should be OK for a street ride, but beware of people mistaking you for a FZ rider! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock filter is just too restricted to run with jetted carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
