Facetious Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Okay, I inherited a Shee like two years ago that was beat to hell, ridden hard and put away wet and muddy....literally. It's been just sitting in my shed all this time. I just started working on it around Christmas and I now finally have it running fairly well. I thought it was a lost cause, but thanks to you guys on this site, shee's good to go. So now I'm ready to start with the upgrades. My type of riding style will be strictly woods/trails with small to medium hill climbs and gravel pits. The elevation is anywhere from sea level to 200ft above sea level. Outdoor riding temps are 30F-50F currently, but will be riding in 70-90F in the spring and summer. The bike is currently bone stock, with air box cover and snorkel still on (some of the trails involve riding through ~1 ft of water in a stream and streambeds). 200 main jets and 25 Pilot. Pilot screw is currently 1.5 turns out. BR8ES plugs. Pre-mix with Castrol TTS @ 32:1(recommended by a friend, but may switch to Castor from what I have been reading here). Installed TORS removal kit with idle screws, new stock style Unifilter, Easy pull clutch perch and cable. I bought a set of really nice pro circuit platinum pipes and matching silencers here(thanks to mun2frio). Where should I go with the jets and airbox when I install these pipes? Keep in mind I do hit mud and water. I was thinking snorkel off and getting those round filtered inserts that you install into the lid. What do you guys think? Quote
elwilliams13 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 You'll notice a big diffrence with those pipes. They are a good trail pipe. I would leave the airbox in maybe remove the lid if you slow down around puddles. if you leave the lid on and remove the snorkel you might need to go up 6-8 sizes on your mains if you remove the lid start with a 300 and work up or down from there doing plug checks.

mun2frio Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 When I had those pipes in my bike I had the lid on the airbox uni filter no snorkel 290 mains 25 pilots and needle clip one notch down and 1 3/4 out on the airscrew and it ran hard. Quote
GrMeyer Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 I would go with the K&N in box set up...that why you can put the lid back on if you need to. you will see a big gain with just pipes and box mod. sense your in mud and water make sure you get the outerwear for the filter...If was riding in mud and all I would look into the outwear for the box that goes where the lid goes..that way it helps keep the water out and mud before it even gets to your filter Quote
