    Should I re jet question

    Hello , just thought of another question, and I'm sure I know the answer but I just would like someone to confirm , would I need to re jet if I was planning to go with air filter pods even thou I plan on staying with the stock exhaust on this 1982 Suzuki GS650G ? I know that the general rule is re jetting if one changes the air box and exhaust, but wasn't truly sure if i was just swapping out the air box for pods, Thank you in advance

      Yes, pods make twice such impact as 4:1 exhaust change.

        So if I see the numbers correctly on the jet , it looks like the main jet is a 110 or something , and I can't really read the other jet. Would someone kindly tell me what the stock jets would be for this 82 gs650g ? Thank you in advance

          Stock mains on a 650 are, indeed, 110.

              Except he needs to look at the sticky in carb section about cv carb jetting.

                Thank you for that link Mark , and thank you Steve for confirming the jet size and yes I'm reading up on the cv carb jetting now, I'm turning this bike into a bobber, I've always thought about trying it but out of 13 bikes later I'm now working on this one, since I only have about $200 into it so far, this bike I saved from the scrap yard
