    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • 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.

Bike Im getting this wkend has the K&N Pods stock pipes, dont know if been re-jeted or not..if not what do I get

And is KN Pods OK on this bike when jetted right
 
When jetted right, it will run nicely- determining if it has been rejected right could be challenging without carb removal.Did PO offer any assurances, or did he plead ignorance ? If pods were added recently, it might have been done out of frustration and you will have to sort things out!
 
To see if it has been jetted, you will have to pull the carbs. Fortunately, it's not that hard with pods already there.

Stock main jets were 110. With pods on there, you would need something in the 120-125 range, unless a DynoJet kit has been installed, in which case it might have 128-136 mains. Please note that the jet numbers do NOT cross over directly, a Mikuni 120 is not the same as a DJ 120, so be careful which jets you are looking at. Mikuni jets will have their "double-square" trademark on them.

Yes, the K&N pods are very good pods, but make sure they are actually K&N. If they are, they will say so on the end cap (away from the carb). APE pods look a lot like K&Ns, and are about as good, but less than half the cost. The most-common pods out there are, unfortunately, the EMGO pods. They are really cheap, and are usually a nightmare to get them jetted correctly.
