hi all. well, it was 55 degrees in ohio today, so i could finally get out and ride! i, finally, decided to stop paying dealers for work and did the rejetting on my own. i know you all have been doing that forever, but this was my first time so i was excited. my current setup is as follows:
1.) Mains: DJ112
2.) Pilots: stock
3.) Needle: DynoJet (i installed 2 washers above the e-clip on the 4th groove per DynoJet instructions.)
4.) I adjusted the fuel mixture screws 3 turns out (again, following DynoJet instructions.)
5.) I have a K&N filter installed
6.) I have the AI removed
7.) I have the snorkel removed
8.) I have Epco pipes
So, after changing the oil with Amsoil 20W-50 and installing a Purolator Pureone filter, I let the bike warm up and took her for a long ride. These are my observations, I made before and during the ride. First, the bike seems to pull considerably harder than it did before the rejet from DJ108 to DJ112 Mains. I noticed no dead spots. Several times i blipped the throttle before i left and the tach would settle directly on the idle setting. exhaust note seems to be a little deeper than it was the last time i rode it. maybe i have forgotten what the bike sounded like or the jets made a difference? find that hard to believe, but you would know better than me! only thing i noticed is that the bike is still popping/backfiring a little bit on deceleration. it isn't anything major, but don't necessarily care for it. what would i need to change to eliminate this? could it just be the fact that i have the epco pipes? only thing that makes me think i could eliminate this is that when it was originally jetted from the dealer (too rich 127mains!) it never did this. my thoughts are to adjust the fuel mixture screws, but i could be wrong. other than that, it ran great and i am very pleased. i think that it is pretty damn close to what i am after with maybe some minor tweaking. i would appreciate some of the great tuners on this site to maybe weigh in on my setup and tell me where you might tweak or adjust from here. thanks for all the help. you all are a blessing to those of us that are noobies with motorcycle tuning/maintenance! -keith
PS. almost forgot, don't really think it would make a difference, but the bike had a full tank of shell 93 ultra with stabil added to it. could this "skew" my setup in anyway?
