But you would think that a little experience would teach them to... nahhhh! Yeah, but, keep in mind, we have a collaboration of thousands of bikers on here with the same bike,and same mods, and lots of knowledgeable people here too. We can see a same issue with 10, 20, 30 bikes, while that particular wrench might have not even seen a bike with that issue. Or that wrench might only work on 1 Roadie a month. We have the numbers here to see what works and what doesn't work.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #217701 Drago (User) Rubber-side Down!

Have you ever seen a pipe that does not say to re-jet? Amen, and that's the part that really tics me off These manufacturers figure that if they don't throw in a huge jet folks will think the pipes aren't boosting performance...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #217747 Tusler (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 271 Re:Carb Jetted - Lost MPG 2 Years, 9 Months ago   Route66 wrote: Here's what it says on the work order. Replaced needle with dynojet needle. Set to #4 Clip from top set F/S tp 3 1/4 replaced main with 190 from kit. Plugged AIS. I had it jetted because I was putting V&H Long Shots on the bike. That was the only mod. Thanks for your help! Hi, the same thing happened to my bike, I have a 04 1700 with stock intake and V&H longshots, what I did was move the Dynojet needle to the 3rd groove from the blunt end ( the top) with the spacer and 1 washer. I had a 165 mikuni main jet handy (which is the same as a 176 Dynojet main) so I stuck it in there. The pilot screw is 2 and a half turns out. My result is 45 mpg at 65 and very easy starting cold. I am still running a little rich but it is real hot here in so cal in the desert so I am leaving it for a while. I don't recommend using different parts like I did but it is working. The 190 jet you have is equal to about a 178 Mikuni so you can see how much richer yours is than mine.   Logged     Ask Jesus for Forgiveness before it is too late!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #217761 chico (User) "EL BANDIDO" says lets ride man,lets ride!!!
