Default I love my bike....

But this carburetor bullsh*t has to go, all my buddies have fuel injected bikes...they can throw a slip-on on and not have to worry about bull like jetting the carbs...gah...

you can put a slip on your carb'd bike and not have to jet it. now if you start making more upgrades you migh tbenefit from a jet kit but as far as i know you are not required to jet a carb'd bike with only a slip on exhaust.

I believe that is correct, the slip-on does not have enough of an effect on air flow to require re-jetting. In most cases, you only need to jet for an exhaust if it is a full exhaust.

Is it just me? but I love the sound that carbs make!
In my old Honda Prelude when Id punch it just right, and the second carb would open up. it would make this cool jet engine air sucking noise...lol it would give me the shivers.
I just like that old school high pitch screaming noise they make

Jets are cheaper than remapping your ECU. I'll stick with carbs.

Plugging a PCIII into a USB port is better than taking apart a carbeurator. FI FTW!
