dajogejr Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) What jets are in there now? How do you know it's running rich...did you check old plugs, or...did you buy brand new ones, warm it up, put the new plugs in and take a wide open run? Old plugs don't help...especially if it's been ridden a few times, idled, etc. Jetting is pretty easy... Check the sticky at the top of the forum for a great, print out for reference article. A little rich is ok....very rich is not. Better to be a tad rich than lean... I can't say those will be your exact jets...I'm just saying start on the rich side, and work your way down. I've never used FMFs. They like a rich Pilot...from what I've only read here. I'm sure a 27.5 would be fine to start...you MIGHT have to bump to a 30....maybe. I'd start at 310. See how it goes from there. If it bogs at WOT, it's rich. POPS...lean. Edited April 28, 2005 by dajogejr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee~ Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Just finished up going the jetting routine myself. For sea level to 1000ft. I assume you have a K&N Filter using the stock airbox. What I've read around here is the SST's like a fat pilot. Get a 27.5 Pilot, and turn your air screws 1.5 turns out from seated. 361629[/snapback] I have sst's with a K&N and the lid off, 1000ft. above and im runing 320 mains 30 pilots. 32.5 pilots where to fat.
