Power_Man Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 So I have been running my machine for a while. Closed air box with K&N filter and T5 pipes. Running. 290 jets for about 4*c weather. Goes good till about just past 3/4 throttle. Then falls flat. What do I need to change. ? Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Is your air filter clean? Have you checked the plugs? Quote
Power_Man Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Posted March 25, 2013 I haven't done a plug chop, but after a ride I pull em and they are a brown/black colour. I need to grab another set of plugs so I can do a chop. Will I kill throttle when as its falling on its face or just before? I just got the filter, and the guy I bought it from said it was just cleaned and oiled. Quote
notsed Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 could be to much oil on the filter, did you change anything else besides the filter? Quote
Vicstuff Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Filter is clean and pretty positive I didn't over oil its definitely not the first filter I've cleaned/oiled lol Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2 Quote
04zSpittinKlotz Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 closed air box? step 1 - take the lid off and see if it gets better Quote
oldskool Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 now im confused lol Vicstuff sold the filter to power. Quote
Power_Man Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Posted March 29, 2013 Okay. I'll take lid off and go for rip. The previous owner has BKR6E plugs in it. So I had a set of BR9ES new in box. (I know should be 8's). But thought plugs should be changed. I went for a rip with the new plugs and killed throttle at CLOSE to WOT. AND THEY look like this. First picture with flash. Second no flash. Quote
Power_Man Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Posted March 29, 2013 HOLY FUCK! night and day difference. Took air box off and runs like a banshee! (Pun intended! Lol) So with lid off, do I need a re-jet? Quote
Power_Man Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Posted March 29, 2013 Cant edit, but i took the LID off airbox, not the whole airbox. Quote
ClayAiken Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Was having similar symptoms, took the lid off and holy shit. I would like to know also. Quote
04zSpittinKlotz Posted March 31, 2013 Report Posted March 31, 2013 haha! yes, now you have to figure out where you should be on jetting. here - http://www.dfn.com/agservices/jetfaq.html Quote
coryv4 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 if you want to continue running it with the lid so you dont get water and shit drop the main 1 or 2 sizes and see how it runs. Quote
sleeper06 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 290 lid off, 240-250 lid on needles 4th clip Quote
