scrambler fcr39 jetting with zard low cross
Hi there, I know there are lots of threads on fcr39 jetting but not having any luck finding what I'm looking for. Just curious if anyone has a similar scrambler set up as me and wonder what your jetting/needles are set to
Fcr39 / airbox removed (using unifilters) / Zard low cross / stock cams originally it was set up for TORs but with the zard it seems to be lean. For the needle I'm on the 3rd groove from the bottom (2 grooves showing) - still lean even at 160 mains...
Thanks in advance !
This pipe is awesome btw  will post video soon

This is the pic that helped me make the decision to go low 
btw did you ever have the bird chirp with the low cross?
I don't mind it but just curious if you had it too?

I dont recall any bird-chirping, or any other kind of whistling, with the pipes.
The fit between header and silencer was spot-on so unlikely from there.
I do remember tho, with the Cross fitted, an occasion where I started the bike up and it gave the biggest backfire imaginable, sending birds flying out the trees and the locals diving for cover!!

Mine has that twittering sound. I read here that you can eliminate it by taking out the center post at the back. I don't find the sound that upsetting so I haven't modified the can..
