#203347 mcbrune (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Lean? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Hoping some of you at similiar elevation could help me out. I had the dealer jet my bike since they have the means of testing exhaust gasses as they exit. Seems to me the jetted it pretty lean. It seems to be slow to get moving whenver I shift, and when I run it at a steady 65 in 3rd i get hesitation and popping. The current setting for 2,605 ft in a dry climate Main - 155 Pilot - 40 Needle clip position 4 I'm assuming this is off of a yamaha jet kit. Any input would be appreciated, i'll probably be driving the bike back into the deal asap to have them re-adjust, but some ideas on where it should be or how off this is (if at all) would be helpful. Thanks!!   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/06/12 23:23 By mcbrune.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #203348 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Lean? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   A 155 Mik main is nuts unless you live in the upper stratosphere. I'm guessing they had to go to the 40 pilot to try and make up for it. Don't take it back there. Do it yourself and get it done right. It's not hard. Go back to the stock 35 pilot and then follow these basics - Jetting   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #203356 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3110 Re:Lean? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   155??? I was gonna say, that's CRAZY lean! I'm at 7,000 ft, dry climate, and run a 35 pilot and a DJ 170, which is roughly equivalent to a Mikuni 162.5...if there was such a thing. Like Musky said, do it yourself--you'll be much better off AND have money to pay for gas...all the gas you need, which you're not getting with those settings.

Guess I won't be going back there. Just for clarification smaller number means less fuel on any jet correct? same with needle clip? so 4 means less fuel than 5?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #203384 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Lean? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   mcbrune wrote: smaller number means less fuel on any jet correct? same with needle clip? so 4 means less fuel than 5? Yes on the jet. Yes if you count from the blunt end on the needle.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #205449 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3382 Re:Lean? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   We usually count the needle grooves starting at the blunt end. 5 would be richer than 4. The closer down the e-clip to the point of the needle, raises the needle in the slide so it comes out sooner from the main, hence richer.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
