iceman Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 first of all does anyone recommend doing it yourself? i dont have the 50 bucks to get the kit right now. but i couldnt find the page on it. i thought it was at planetsand but i searched everywhere and cant find it. Quote
suzuki0702 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 its easy..just make sure u get some lube when u tap the holes...and vitos effs u...i went to a machine shop and they said they sent the wrong drill bit...go to a tap and die place and get yourself a 5.25 bit....i went through a set of carbs cause those effers!

2003LimitedBanshee Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 The kit itself is easy to install, although I would recommend access to a drill press for drilling the idle screw bosses. However, you will need the idle screws, as well as new carb tops and cable. Now, I believe you can unplug the TORS "brain" initially without removing the tops or installing the idle screws. It is basically on the opposite side of the frame from the ignition coil. You'll see a triangular black plug. I believe by just doing this it will disable the TORS and you can pick up the kit later.

yellabanshee Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 yo icemam. how can you be a pro and not have done this? anyway... dont drill the carbs.........all i did was adjust the idle and boom your dailed just follow the cable replacement and the carb thing and you are home free have a beer 2:) Quote
banshee tuner Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Do it yourself, I had no idea how to but the instructions are great and it is simple. I do think the bit is too big and does not leave much to tap. Quote
Ls7colorado Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 what us the advantage of doing this over just unhooking the TORS? Other that looks better and easier to get the carbs out. Quote
banshee tuner Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 That's about the only advantage. Quote
FASTOYS Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Give ya a tip for drilling the carb. Put a short piece of fuel line over your drill bit and use it as a stop. The rubber hose will touch the carb before the drillbit bottoms out as you dont want to go to far and have the drill bit touch the other side of the carb bore. We have the kits and i will drill and tap them for free if you buy the kit!!! Quote
iceman Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Posted February 11, 2006 thanks for the replies. i thought there was a way to do it with the stock caps. maybe i thought wrong. anyways. im thinking about getting some used keheins with some pod filters cause i just removed my airbox. if i could find some for under 100 bucks id probably buy them. if i cant find any i guess ill just get the kit. thanks guys.
