A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.
Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
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.
K&Ns already have velocity stacks built into them. The open shorties are the problem. Keep running it like that and there won't be any exhaust valves left if they aren't already damaged. Even a DJ kit wouldn't fix that.
There really isn't a standard setting. Start maybe 1 1/2 turns out and then adjust each one for the highest idle. If you get more than about 4 turns out you're off the jet and need to switch pilots.
That setting is never mentioned. Well, a couple of times that it is mentioned, all they say is "Factory set, do NOT adjust". The factory set them very lean to meet emission standards. Unfortunately, they ran terribly and took forever to warm up. The settings I have seen the most range from about 1 turn to 1 1/4. Most of us agree that a setting between 2 and 3 turns out from lightly seated is a good starting point to get the bike running. Once it is running and warmed up, slowly adjust each screw, listening for highest engine speed. That is where the mixture is happiest. If you don't hear an increase, slowly turn the screw in, listening for a decrease in engine speed, then turn the screw back out 1/4 turn. That is as lean as it will go without hurting anything. Note that you need to do this for every carb, as the settings for each carb might be slightly different. In fact, after doing all the carbs, I like to go through them again, just to make sure that the setting are still correct. I also like to take the opportunity to do a carb sync at the same time. May as well remove all the variables possible.
Anything inside the bowl should be SNUG.
