skin doc Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 i went and tried to take the airbox off permenatly this morning but i guess i need a special piece from the back of the carbs to fit my K&N filter. the air box goes all the way to the carbs. do i have to cut the box or do i need to buy some type of aftermarket part? the other problem i had was i was mixing the gas and oil at 20 to 1 and it was missing real bad and didnt have alot of power. someone on here told me to mix it 50 to 1 and change the plugs [which i did] it ran fine. i had a bunch of gas left over so i mixed it half and half but now the bike is smoking again. can i add 1 more gallon of straight gas to it or should i drain it and start fresh again? could the wrong jets be doing this too?

locogato11283 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 i wouldnt add anything to the gas. id drain the gas out and start all over. what oil are you using? most oil/fuel ratios should be at 45 or 50 to 1...as for your air filters, you have stock carbs? and youre trying to use a k and n for a stock airbox?

White06Shee Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah I Run 36:1 With Yamalube, And i would drain the gas and start over mixing it at like 32:1 or 40:1 and go from there Quote
