Obsurfer, 1 question for u is, do they send idle jets? if not then what did u do about that? Another problem I ran into is debating between 6sigma and this one Jet Kit Honda CBR1000F Hurricane 87-88, 90-91 , 93-96 | eBay

The kit from 6Sigma didn't come with any pilot jets or different idle screws. Not sure why the idle screw design makes a difference, I thought it was just how far it was turned in or out. I am no expert my any means but not sure how much benifit is gained from changing the pilot jets since their main function is at the lower rpm's. All I know it that my bike is running great with the following set-up. 125 jets on cylinders 1&4 and 127.5 jets on cylinders 2&3, 2 shims per needle, with stock pilot jets and the idle screws turned out 2.5 turns. I have a K&N filter in stock box and a pair of Delkevic cans. It runs great with no flat spots or stumbles. Only downside is that my mileage dropped from 42-43mpg to 39-40. I had great success with 6Sigma and I am sure they will answer any questions you have prior to purchase. It's always good to ask the experts. Good luck and let me know what you decide.

Thanks obsurfer, Well I ended up with Carbjetkit .. they helped me and were there to answer every way possible, even with I tryed to upset them and get info out of them, they were there... So far I ordered the UNI pod filter pk-22 and the jet kit. it should be by next monday. Also.. I think it's my float height and I can't with life in me figure out how to set float height.

How to set the float levels is explained in the Haynes Manual. There is a link here https://cbrforum.com/forum/workshop-...anuals-101343/
