Very easy. For vm its just swapping the new needles and screwing in the new main jet.

I have a stage 3 kit on my '81 1100E (CV carbs). Works great.

Easy to install: drill the slides, install new DJ needles, new air jets, new main jets...

The tricky part is getting the proper sized mains, & which notch on the needles to use sorted out. All dependent on your particular set-up (pipe, pods, cams, etc...).

You will have to check the plugs a few times to make sure your not running excessively rich or lean.

Also, lots of members here are running that kit as well, provide more info about your bike (year?) and set-up and someone will chime in with a needle position & mani recomendation.

will say it again,please keep the answers coming......
Also I see a drill in the kit what is that for?.....

 

[niclpnut]

depending on the kit. One is to remove the cap over the air mixture screw. The other is to drill the slide.

For the VM carb kit, there should be one bit, for removing the cap.

So I exspect there is good instructions with the kit............

Kit may be for US based bikes. What kind of carbs does your bike have (type and size)?

 

[Guest]

Between the dynojet instructions and the carb rebuild tutorial on this site you shouldn't have a problem.

Steve, our bikes weren't set up as lean as the US models (no spirit of California here back in the '70s, even though Haynes chunters on about it). If you have lifted the needles a notch or 2 depending on plug colour and changed jets there is nothing to be gained by going big spendy on a Dyno jet kit.

I've set up loads of bikes from this era with pods and a pipe and never had to use a kit to get the thing to run spot on.

 

[niclpnut]

will be very straight forward instructions included with the kit.
