Bung1,
I would like to believe 100% that a rejet is not required, but am not so sure.
A local dealer told me before he had my bike that a rejet was needed for either / or both the pipes (TORs) and K&N.
He then told me after the job (and the K&N was out of stock) that no rejet was required, so I basically gave him $150 for bolting some pipes on. :evil: I suppose it needed the warranty book stamped anyway for the first service.

His mechanic, who seemed to know his stuff assured me after a test ride that the stock jetting was fine with the TORs. To me, it seems a little cold blooded until well into the ride and sounds a bit ratty - I think I'll just sit tight for a while.

As for the increase in airflow with opening up the airbox, derestricting, etc, my take on this is that you need high airflow for high power/high rpm. I ride the Scrambler very lazily and would hate to mess up the low end character of the bike for more HP up top.

BTW: Who was the dealer ?

Cheers
PfM
