Dynojet kit on GS 1150
Dynojet kit on GS 1150
Ok: 85 1150ES with a Dynojet stage III kit. K&N Pods and a Supertrapp S/S pipe with a lot (24) of Discs and racing (open) cap and full Dyna S ignition and coils. I have been chasing the jetting all over on this thing. Seems really rich at low revs, and not very crisp throttle response in the midrange. The main jet seems about right though. I am running 140 mains now. I had the needles in the middle (third from bottom) groove last year and It just wasn't running crisp in the lower midrange so I fattened it up a little by raising the (2nd groove from bottom) needles one clip. This really woke the bike up above 3500 but created a major hole below it. So much so that I had to go back to the third groove. I followed the advice from the Factory Website (http://www.factorypro.com/) and reset my float levels (22mm from the flange). They seemed to be way high. Factories jetting information seems sound. He goes into how the float level can affect everything from idle to redline. I reset my needles back down to the second notch and put in a fresh set of Iridium plugs. So now I am just waiting for a good day to ride it and check all this out.
The point to all this is that Dynojets instructions are not great! The factory guy goes into a lot better detail in my opinion. The newer kits they sell include the 160 pilot air jets. My kit did not. If the changes above don't help I may buck up for a set of these. Anybody made this change? :?:
