    Pilot Air Jet

    The stock pilot air jet for my 1100GL is 170. The PO had 160's in. Is it likely he did that because of the PODS or is probably just what he had laying around? If you have a freer flowing exhaust and air intake would using a smaller air jet make sense?

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

    Looks like one of the PO's screwed that up. Pods and a "good" pipe, require MORE fuel, not less. Are they Suzi jets or an after market?

      I'm pretty sure they're OEM jets. They're the ones in the carb intake on the air filter side. With that name, I figured they controlled air instead of fuel. I wondered if maybe he was using smaller jets to try to make the mixture richer.
