Gixxus Christ! Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Average bike specific jet kit runs $100+. Then comes the tuning, all kinds of things factor in, intake, exhaust, elevation etc....plan on an afternoon of plug chops and taking the carbs apart and putting back together. You could always get lucky and nail it first try, I hear that happens a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_some_dude Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Why do you need a full jet kit, though? The guy stated people have done this in the past. I would think someone out there would have an idea with the mod he did what jetting he could be at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_some_dude Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) I agree with you, but here is where I am coming from... he already has a air/fuel mixture problem and doesn't want to spend a bunch of money attempting to fix it right now (completely fix it). He could at least put in larger jets than he has now to run a touch richer to maybe compensate for the increased air.I don't know the bike, so I'll shut my mouth. That is just where I was coming from... Edited May 22, 2012 by just_some_dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Its not just jets. Needle position and float height have a lot to do with running characteristics 3/4 throttle and below. CV carbs are a fickle mistress, you usually can't just pop in a main jet and be done with it. Usually when there are people with cumulative decades of experience in carb tuning telling you something, you should take their advice. The guy who designed that air box probably has a lot more degrees on his wall than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapesmuggler27 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Simple fix, duct tape the hole you cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Opening the airbox doesn't just affect one stage of fueling. There's a proper way to tune a set of carbs' date=' and then there's the way you're suggesting. Just because others have done it, doesn't mean the air/fuel mixtures are right.[/quote']This.I can cut your nostrils open wider and shove some ghost peppers in your ass but your not goan run no better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
