new sticky idea

[piester]

we already have a sticky for factory carb specs, why not make one where people post their carb specs as far as jetting and whatnot with a detailed description of the setup on the bike and maybe anything they have noticed as far as dead spots. i think this would help people who are thinking about switching to pods but are unsure of jetting. this may also help lessen the number of threads we have about rejetting carbs.
this is the information i think should be in it
year of bike
model
engine size
exhaust
intake/filtration
any other mods that would change the jetting.
maybe round about elevation of where you live
all jet sizes.
needle adjustment
where you got the jets from and what rating system they use such as mikuni, dynojet....
anything you have noticed as far as flat spots in power.

anyhting else you guys think should be in there?
is this even a good idea?

tuning is not exactly the same

tuning is not exactly the same

2 of the exact same bikes, exact same combinations. They may, and often do require drasticly different tuning specifications.

I imagine there are a lot of guys that have exact info from a good running bike and they cannot get their own to run right. hmmmm. yep ton of threads like this.

so do not worry that you are a bad mechaninc. cheating off of your neighbor's test paper will not make your bike run right.

learn to READ your plugs. WRITE down exact notes and keep exact track of what you did and did not do. observe and LISTEN to your engine.

tuning is an open book quiz if you can read, write and listen.

I think building a jetting database is a great idea only that someone would have to do it since Frank is unlikely to make room for a sticky anytime soon (based on past history anyway). I'll bet if someone would put it together, Cliff would host it on his site.

So who wants to be administrator?

You wouldn't be busting my butt now would you?

Making a thread a sticky takes 2 seconds. If you want something done, all you have to do is PM me.

Ok then, lets have a sticky!

piester list of suggested details seems good, what do the others think?

I'm not into pods/headers so don't have much input beyond this so make it good guys!

I should be able to add some info to this database soon.
