    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.

what goes into jetting a bike?

i need to rejet a bike for this guy and i have no idea where to start.
 
Just get the proper kit and save yourself the headaches. All the instructions you need will come with the kit.
 
What mods has he got and why does he need them jetted?

If they indeed need rejetting then about all you can do is try the hit or miss approach. Drill the plugs off the idle screws so they can be adjusted. Use some tape on the drill bit so it barely penetrates the plug. There are threads under it you don't want to screw up. !/8" of bit should do the job. Then pull the plug with a screw. That screw only effects idle and slightly off idle throttle positions.

Next get some very small, thin nylon washers or go to Radio Shack and get some metal washers used for electronics applications. The thinner the washers you can find the better. Shim the slide needles a little at a time. The shim goes under the clip on the needle to richen the mixture. This will effect steady throttle when cruising and 1/4 to 3/4 throttle openings. Replace the main jet you intend to use before working with the needles. If they haven't done any mods then one jet size is probably the most you will need to go up if at all.

If his bike is running decent then he's better off leaving the carbs as they are and maybe doing a good cleaning.
 
see i cleaned the carbs and messed up the settings and i cant find a jet kit
 
There's really nothing to mess up. Stock needles are non-adjustable and the other jets only go in one way in one place. The only thing you can adjust is the idle screws and float level.
 
then i dont know what to say, the thing idles rough most of hte time, cant go past 5k and 50mph or it starts to die and can't run with out the choke on full
