  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I got the jet kit installed and have spent the last week tuning it. Ended up a clip richer than recommended in the instructions and the mixture is out 6.5 turns. I feel like I'm fighting the pretty much open exhaust and I think I need to grab a set of #50 pilot jets to get it better. It had a flat spot at about 3500rpm that I have been struggling with. Right now its running better but I can still feel just a bit of hesitation and I am not a fan of running the mixture screws so far out. Overall though I'm happy. I swapped to a set of low watt signals which prompted a switch to an electronic flasher and the loss of tscu functionality. No loss there. I ran power and ground straight to the battery for now. Fused on power. Ground will get moved to single point once I wire relays for horn and coils. Planning to finally get it registered next week with the inspection the following week. I'd like to have gotten all this done sooner but at least its getting done at all. Once this is a daily rider I'm pulling the 850 off the road for a cosmetic refresh and some more upgrades.

So today was fun. Rode home from work and decided to be productive. I know! I'll wire up the relays for the horns and coils! -_- After a bit of trial and error I got it sorted but what a pain in the a$$ lol. For the rest of you folks the black wire going to the horns acts as the switched source on pin 86. The green wire acts as the ground on pin 85. Constant power to pin 30 and output from pin 87. If you have pin 87a ignore it. Its constant powered. Found that the hard way when I hooked it to the horns. After all said and done the horns are LOUD. Scared the hell out of me the first time I hit the horn button. Went ahead and mounted the relay for the coils while I was there. Project for another day.

What are you running for mains and pilot jet? DJ138 and MK47.5?
 
DJ138 is the jet that's in it now along with a 50 pilot and the air jet that came in the DJ kit.

You can talk to Bill (Chef1366), but the 50 is going to be problematic. If you think you need it because of the open exhaust, I would go back and bump up the main first. Use a MK130 which would be about 1 step above the DJ138.

Bear in mind that to my knowledge almost all 1100E with 4:1 pipes are jetted with the 47.5 Pilot jets whether using BS34 or BS36 and 1074 up to 1229.

I went back to 45.0 with my 1166 which I attribute primarily to my 4:2:1 (Using WB02 and data logger). The bike had a 47.5 in before that (1166,36mm,0.340, and porting)with a race Yoshi 4:1.

I would also ask him about the air jet. I don't remember ever changing mine.
