biggun6ss Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Put on some clamp on K&N's and advanced the timing +4. Running 310 mains with stock pilot and needle. Do I need to move my needle up or down any or will it be ok? It starts easy and doesn't bog at iddle to 1/4 throttle so I think the pilot is ok. Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 You should be pretty close. I am running a filter setup without the airbox, wtih 340 mains @ sea level, 330's at 2000'. My guess is that you could probably pull a 320 or even the 330 depending on your air temp. Also I would guess you are right on the brink of bumping up to a 27.5 on the pilot. Mine ran fine on the stock pilot through the summer, but I had to bump up to the 27.5 as the temps started to fall off. Quote
biggun6ss Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Posted November 2, 2005 What about the needle, should I mess with it any after these mods? Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 My best guess is to try either the 2nd, but probably 3rd clip from the blunt end. After you have the main jet dialed in is when you should make needle adjustments based on how the bike runs through the midrange. As you increase the main jet, the midrange ("needle") circuit will be richened as well since the needle will fill less of the larger main jet. So after you have set the main, if it seems to rich, drop the needle a position by raising the clip, or vice versa if it seems lean. Quote
