There is a white plug that is flat at the top take a pair of needle nose and pull up slowly on lt stright up. Be careful the is a spring under it that will fly out if your not careful. Also when you lull the plug don't rock from side to side or you will break the seat for it. Once you get it off you will see the needle and spacers becareful not to loose any of them.

Re:Jetting help... again. 4 Months ago  
Wow, now its getting fun! I have a 170 main jet, had to get magnafiers to read that. I managed to find and remove the needle jet and I set it 4th clip, one washer beings it is the stock needle ( I guess )

I vented the gas tank lock, that was easy. and I re-dialed my pms, I am not sure where it is now, so tomorrow I am going to re-visit that.

What a difference that made, my god its like a different bike. It is making all kinds of power now. No slugging around, it just wants to go!

Thanks for all the help in finding these things.

Do you guys recommend getting that Barron's replacement needle for this?

Is there a big difference?

I believe there is a big difference in needles. Stock is fat with little taper, where Barons will have a taper to it.

I should have taken a picture of this needle, it looked like it had quite a bit of taper to it to me. It was anything but flat. I bet some one before me was into this.

But that's part of the fun, having no idea what you have and trying not to change something that you want...

If the needle has more than one slot on it for the clip then it isn't a stock needle and you don't need to get another needle. Glad it runs better.

I still don't think I am getting all the fuel to that carb that I need, seems a TON better, but I am still going to tweak it a tad, I wish I could get to the PMS with out taking my air cleaner cover off. I may just leave it along for a bit now that I have it this far and see how it does.

Man I am loving my life right now!!
