salmon_slayer06 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 When I go to open up the throttle after it has warmed up, the bike will suddenly choke like it has not enough fuel. If I back off a little and gradually give it throttle it will be okay but I still can't give it that snap to get the power band when I want it. I guess you could say it has a mid throttle dead spot. Where could this problem be coming from? Quote

Glamis321 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Try moving your needle clip down one spot. Quote
salmon_slayer06 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Posted December 4, 2011 Thats what i was gonna try doing. its almost winter now and the next time I ride it will be 75 degrees colder than it was in the middle of July. Should I increase the main jet and slow jet by one size? Quote
Jereme6655 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 if its colder now than it was when you dialed in your jetting then your bike may ahve that dead spot from being lean. yes you need to jump your main jet sizes as the weather drops as there is more air molecules in a given cubic area when its cold......the air is actually denser. im not entirely sure on how much of a temp causes the need for larger jets......i believe ive heard before that every 25 degree drop needs to be richened by one main jet size....
