    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

I'm running lean and will yank the carbs and go up on the mains. The stock mains are 107.5 and I'm thinking about taking a big jump to 122.5 or 125 then working downward. The bike has a Supertrapp 4-into-1 and an exposed stock air filter element with no black plastic stock airbox.

Note: if you don't want to stay on this topic, that's cool but please don't post anything that is not along the lines of "I've done that/know of someone who's done that, I think starting at 125 is too big/too small" whatever.

Just looking for *jetting* advice here, this is the 'Carb/Fuel/Exhaust' part of the forum, would appreciate *on topic* advice here, no bitching about 'things you've decided to be unhappy about' with this or any other post please, if you're having a bad day, hey, we understand, we all have them, no need to use a friendly request for jetting advice as an outlet, ok? Thanks. If you feel I've let you down somehow or that you need to boss me around a bit, send me a personal email, keep it off this thread, thanks. I set my email preference to accept emails from everyone.

The bike is running stock jetting in the carbs and I'm getting set to rejet.
Would appreciate advice, and thanks.

I think I'm scared to tell you what jets you need. Too many rules.

Why so much grief from a newb asking for help?

Because if the site wants new members to try out the site, decide they like it then $upport it it needs to be helpful.

I'm still asking for jetting advice, really nothing else.
If you don't want to offer jetting advice, cool man, just pass this thread on by and dabble elsewhere, I suspect any other users of the site interested in jetting questions would like hearing about jetting nothing else.

I already asked you to send me email, you can tell me stuff like "I don't want to respond, too many rules" and "why newb" in an email message,

The post is for jetting, send me an email, or ignore the thread, but I think the idea is to respond to the post with relevant info.
