Minister of Death Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 I was able to put together my bike over memorial day and pretty much got things close based on your advice, so thank you. Couple things though (of course). There was some suggestion that my pipes would suck based on the setup I'm running, too which I'm all ears. First, I think my main jet is too big. I think I need to step down. Are all Kiehen jets threaded the same size? Should I switch to a more top end pipe at the same time I try screwing with the jets? I like to knock out one variable at a time. The bike runs much better on the race gas, but I know I need new intakes. Main problem is that the engine breaks up when its pinned, and it seems to bog out when the throttle is first pressed. The carbs are synched with the tool. I don't think its far off. All my engine stat's are in my signature line. Quote

Any pipe you get over those FMF's would need rejetted and make more power. With that drag port I would recommend CPI's. (Shameless plug since I sell them... lol) But honestly get rid of those pipes and that will help solve your top end problems.. Quote
