Any picture or link to them?
 
Actually im prolly just gonna wait to see what i get here for a response here before starting a new thread
 
Steve I think "XP" is short for "experience"

You would be amazed at the diffderence a jet kit makes. If you plan to run your open pipes to a collector into a free flowing muffler you will never get it quite right. Dynojet kits almost always have jets for stage 1 AND 3 so you can go back to stock when your headaches get really bad from that droning of your current setup.
 
Okay so my Dynojet stage 3 should be here anyday now just wondering if anyone has any recommendations to help the install and tuning go smooth becasue i can amagine this isn't one of those put it in and go situations im sure a fair amount of tuning will be required.

Installing the kit is fairly straight forward. After you set it up the way it says in the instructions, fire it up and start tuning (if needed).

I adjusted the mixture screw using the highest idle method first. Then I did some plug chops to make sure everything was running right. I ended up being rich on the needle and needed to lower it two notches. The most time consuming part of it is ripping the needles out to adjust them afterward.

I will add that everyone says that pods will make the thing tough to start and be a pain to get them jetted properly. My experience was the opposite. After installing the stage 3 kit, she fired right up and idled well. YMMV
 
TY for the info unfortunatly my kit wont be here till the 8th due to the long weekend im kinda ****ed my order sat in there warehouse for like 3 days before it was even shipped and I paid for 1-4 day delivery going to call their customer service on tuesday and bitch cause that will be 11 days if it come on the 8th FYI anybody ordering from JCmotors be warned they are not a speedy company. But least I have some start point for when my jets do finally get here.

Okay so kit is here and just my Luck no install guide so i call dynojet "Oh I'm sorry it apears that modle kit doesnt come with a detailed install guide" Awesome lol guess they assume if your installing it in this old bike you prolly knwo what your doing lmfao, So couple questions kit comes with 155 and 160 main jets wich shoudl i use and where are the mixture caps kit came with a drill bit and screw to remove caps however not sure where they are located, install looks pretty simple although im not entirly sure what to do with the glue and air corrector guy on phone told me glue was to install air corrector so any pointers would help. Now if i can get all the carb screws to come out without stripping will be all good. Can i replace the stupid phillips head screws on my float bowls with like an allen headed screw or is that not recommended. Well alot in this post so ill let the pros get to it :) thanks
 
Hi,

Have a look at the carb cleaning guide (by Nessism) on my website. He shows you how to remove the caps covering the idle mixture screws.

Yes, any time you can replace the cheesehead phillips screws with allen heads is a good thing. :p

I have no firsthand knowledge but all of the Dynojet installations are somewhat similar. You can download a couple of other installation guides in PDF format from their website. That should give you and idea of the procedure.

You get a couple of sizes of jets because you'll need to check the plug color to be sure you're not running too lean or too rich. Adjust as necessary.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Also, FYI, Dynojet didn't address the pilot jet at all with their stage 3 kit for my GS1100GL, just the main/needle/air corrector. I was way lean on the pilot circuit and had to go up two sizes on my own to get it right. Make sure you do plug chops afterward to verify it is all running right after the install.
 
Yeah i was kinda wondering about the pilot jet, however i got held up lastnight when I got to that awesome little c-clip holding the needle in place lol god i was ****ed everythign else is installed and ready to go back together so im borrowing c-clip tool from shop in town shoudl be able to start my tunign and chopping tonight fingers crossed

I tried those clip tools, but I find it much easier to use a pick to get the clips out. Just put the pick into one of the loops at the end of the clip and pry it out. Then I use two flat head screw drivers to re-install them by pressing them in. I can get a needle out, change the height and put it back together faster now using that method than the time it takes me to use the clip tool. After doing yours, you'll be a pro!
 
Got everythign installed got bike idleing smooth took it for a test ride to see wheer problem areas are at about 5-6k rpm stumbles and fall flat no power got back plugs blacker then black full of soot so where do i start to correct this moving needle clips adjusting mix screw? What way on the mix screws leans them and richens them? I have another fourm open just for the tuning of the stage 3 i thinkk im close but just not quite there yet http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=181839
 
How does the sound of a stock header setup with Harley Mufflers compare to the total stock original exhaust system? I know sound is subjective but how about volume? Also, would back pressure with the Harley mufflers be comparable to stock mufflers? With my Vance and Hines 4 into 1, it gets a little loud for my tastes when I ride in the rpm range that is best for my motor. I still have my stock exhaust but the baffles are loose while the headers are sound.
PS, one more question. Would you cut the original mufflers downstream from the crossover pipe for best results?
