    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.

Mains

Mains

You have CV carbs and your mains are 115. The OEM order number is 09491-23001 and you can order them from your dealer although you can find them cheaper elsewhere. You'll likely get a lot more advice and recommendations...but that's still gonna be the end deal after all is said and done.

Do you have any mods, like exhaust or filter, that need to be included? You've pulled the jets for a reason I assume...
 
yea i rebuilt my carbs and i have drag pipes with stock air box
 
You need to do a jet kit, including main and pilot jets. The factory jets are inherently lean so with a drag pipe it makes things worse.
 
For just a pipe you don't necessarily need a jet kit (you can but the jets will probably be the wrong sizes) but you will probably have to go up on the mains a bit & perhaps shim the needles with washers a little to get it running perfect.

yea i ordered 120's and 125's main jets yesterday hope they work
