    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.

Re-jet absolutely necessary?

I agree with the other opinions that you can do it yourself. Have you done the intake boots, o-rings, airbox to carb boots, and re-sealed your airbox? You will need to do this first IMHO to have a good baseline for tuning.

I have the same set up on my 1000 with CV's and went one over on pilots (42.5), two over on mains (120) and shimmed the needles with three washers. Use OEM Mikuni jets, they are available from many sources. You should do the plug chops but either Salty Monks set up or mine should get you close enough to fine tune from there.

I'm not trying to hijack or stray from the OP's post, but I did the same (42.5 pilots and 120 mains) to my 82 750 with V&H 4:1 and pod filters. Should I think about shimming the needles too while I'm in there? It didnt run when I bought it but the carbs were frozen solid for the most part so I'm confident that was my problem.

You will need a MUCH bigger main with pods and 4-1 on that 750. The DJ kit comes with main air jet correctors which allow you to use a much smaller main to be used, and with the correctors you need to use a 130dj or about a 120 mikuni main.

OK so II think I'm going to jet them myself with 42.5 pilot and 120 mains and shim the needles. I went to the sudco website but I'm not sure about the carbs do I look for pilots and mains for a bs34ss or vm34,and where do I get and what size washers do I shim the needles with?
 
The jets need to be for a bs series carb. The pilots are bs30/96 and the mains are 'large round'
Radio shack is a good place for the washers.
 
Just be sure to shim the needles correctly. :-k

The shims do NOT go below the clip. :eek:

They will replace the thick nylon spacer above the clip. :D
