i've read on here that the jetting on stock carbs is way to rich for these bikes.I live in south Georgia I have a d&d slip on new honda air filter and new carbs with stock jets.The tip of the pipe will haze a little when you burp the throttle.What I'm asking is is what are you guys running near me to get the best power,not the most.So I can keep it from over heating or fry the pistons.Cause the last time we tested it with the junk carbs a pos vance&hines it made 75.3 hp at 11110 rpm at 10.4 air fuel ratio

 

NE FLORIDA:124 mains,papper filter,#40 pilot jet,scorpion slip,fuel screws 1 3/4 turns from bottom. just under 90 rwhp.

 

closest jet I could get was 126 would that sufficiant?

 

what kit are u using?

 

don't have a kit just have a set of jets

 

well u need the whole kit (needle jet new springs shrouds i.a.) a set of mains will do u no good unless you have the neddles to tune them with. a dynojet (recomended) is only like 116$ BUT FIRST! look under your swing arm and look closely do u see a black can looking thing anywhere?

 

? black can? don't have nothing on there like that.I know I needed the whole kit was trying to get by for now until I tear it down this spring for a rebuild and fix that dang second gear.

 

if there was a black can then youd have a CA model cbr which requires a different jet kit. just changing the mains will probly make your bike run worse on average id hold off till u get the whole kit. now whats the deal with 2nd gear?

 

jumps out of second if your not real easy with the throttle.kinda embaressing when in town.was told do to a bent shift fork

 

yep sounds right to me.
