Uni pod filters (oiled foam)
V&H 4-1 (standard fiberglass packed baffle)
all else stock
I first tried a Sigma 6 jet kit for these mods and they send me though a mess of jetting changes and nothing but frustration. I finally broke down and bought the Dynojet III kit (keep in mind it was a NOS kit never opened) I started with just their normal settings but have had to mess around with other jet sizes. I am in need of some help figuring things out.
I started by syncing the carbs before making changes.
Settings were:
-needle 5 clips from top, one washer under
-Stock 42.5 pilot jets
-DJ 700 main
-Pilot screws 5 turns out (WHA??!)
-Installed air restrictors
Bike started ok, didn't idle well, sputtered with throttle
So I made a few changes:
-Needle same
-Stock pilots drilled out 4 drill bit sizes
-Newer DJ140 mains
-Pilot screws 3 turns out
I tried the DJ130 mains wouldn't idle worth a crap, no power up top. Tired DJ150 mains, idled better, slowly rev'd out up top. So I split the difference and went with 140s. Now the bike idles fine has ok mid-range OK top end. Now for the butt. It sometimes comes to life and really pulls crazy hard with the power I would love it to have all the time. Pulling away from a light you have to play with the clutch, it's like as soon as there is a load it falls on its face.
Where do I go from here?
