Stupid jet question

[revilo]

Hi guys.

I've got an 1980 gs1000 with CV carbs. The current main jet has 115 stamped on it. The pipe and pod thread suggests moving 3 jet sizes for pods but I'm unsure what exactly that means. I notice the jets are available in 5 number increments. Am I right to assume 3 sizes up is a 130? Wanted to confirm before I go ordering anything. I don't particularly want to go to pods but the airbox is so shabby it's hardly worth continuing with and will need replacing sooner than later. Might as well get prepared.

Thanks in advance!

Don't think so. 115--117.5--120--122.5--125--127.5--130--132.5 etc. Interesting to hear from others, I'd think more than 3 for a pipe & pods. Just my opinion

No one can tell you exactly where you'll need to be on jetting for pods. I just did my 850 two weekends ago and ended up 4 sizes up on mains, and 1 on pilot. I would get a selection from 2-4 sizes up on your mains and 1-2 sizes up on your pilots, plus get some #4 washers to shim your needles. Or just get a dynojet stage 3 kit.

Also, on pods: K&N, APE, or UNI foamies is pretty much the consensus here on what to use. I tried out 4into1's UNI clones and they're quite good and half the cost of UNIs. Have heard good things about Bikemaster pods as well, K&N clones but we'll made. Way better than most eBay crapola.
