2003LimitedBanshee Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Purple is good for at least 1 extra HP! Especially if it is paint or graphics (then it's like 5+). Seriously though, I haven't seen a set of the Vito's up close and personal, but I would guess they are a similar design to the Dynojet needles. With that said, some will say they're great, some say they suck, and others say they don't do anything good or bad. I run the Dynojet needles and feel they offer me more tuneability than the stock needles. My guess is the Vito's would do the same, IMO. I'm sure others will chime in with maybe a more specific answer, and opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee tuner Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Are the needle clip positions closer together and have more clips than stock, I could see that being an advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 my Vito needles are longer and fatter if I remember right... They came with the TORS removal kit.. So they needed the extra length and gurth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre03 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say if they came with the kit, use them. I don't know about your personal "local shop" guy, but just cause they work at a bike shop, doesn't mean they know their ass from a power valve.

rocketboy Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 i have used the vitos jet kit and i liked it i n the past , the needle is thinner and longer this is too richen your midrnage circuit ,it is useful on piped filtered and otherwise modifed machines. if your stock needle is too lean in the midrange and is out of adjustments ,yo u are surley missing out on power.

The stock needle will definitely give you a leaner midrange in the same clip position as the aftermarket needles, and thus as Rocketboy mentioned most likely cause you to miss some power. You would probably have to go at least one position richer on the stock needle to be comparable to the Vito's in one position leaner (ie. 5th on stock to 4th on Vito's), plus the Vito's I'm betting has an additional position to allow even better tuning. My personal opinion is that you can probably make it work with either needle, but it comes down to personal preference, I just happen to prefer the aftermarket needles.
