So, I replaced the filter with a K&N, and cleaned the carbs (disassemble, chem dip and a good cleaning. reassembled them, and reinstalled on the bike. test rode, and had a terrible surge @7000 rpm. checked the installation of the carbs and sprayed carb cleaner around the boots, and found a vacccum leak. found one of the carb boots cracked, and replaced with new. i am 90 percent certain that the carbs are completely seated, but there is no way to check the front of the right two because you cannot see. i did not mess with the fuel air set screw, and the jets are clean. the carb was reassembled correctly. i am certain that this thing is super lean under load but i cannot find the reason. i have not checked the fuel air screw yet, but dont know why that would be that far out all of a sudden. also, the air chamber in the carb is sealed great in all four. this thing has quickly become a huge basket case, and i am beginning to get fed up with it. any suggestions?

 

did it have kn filter before?if not it prolly needs jetted bad. try throwing the stock filter back in and see if that dont help

 

i tossed the stock filter. it did not have a k&n before, and i am pretty certain that it needs jetting. i really wanted to avoid doing that, but i guess it is the only way. i still want to pull and read the plugs, but i think i am going to just order a jet kit. anyone have any opinions about jet kits. im going to go with a stage 1, and i am stuck between DJ, and a company on ebay that i found called 6sigma. the ebay special is a little less expensive, but i cannot find a whole lot of info on them. has anyone dealt with them before? any feedback would be great.

 

so, i went ahead and ordered a jet kit from DJ, and once i got the carbs back apart... i discovered the original mains on the 2 and 3 carbs had come completely out of their emulsification tubes. well i am assuming that was what was causing the issue, but i went ahead and jeted the carbs anyways. just let me say, the bike runs like it owes me money now.

 

Nice one bud. I went with a dynojet kit. Works wonders on these bikes. Improves throttle response, delivers more power, it's good all around.

Fine tuning it is my hassle. I really need to get a dyno run in!

 

word on the dyno, i still feel like its a little flat in the mid range on 1 and 2 gears.
