NEW SETTINGS

160 main idk brand
35 pilot stock

sry for the long post just trying to give all the info i can the first time and thanks in advance

Need to know the bran of jets your using first. The Mikuni has the little square box on the top and the jet size is stamped there.

it doesnt have the stamp the 160 is on the end but i took it to the dealer and they said it look big for a 160 so i have no clue sry , i know the needle has 6 grooves total

Well I will bet it is a Mikuni and the needle is a Barons I'll bet. What jets do you have on hand? I know you are at 1100 ft above sea level.

none id have to go to the stealership and i ask for stock jet based on my mods and pipes and stock box doesnt need a rejet so i wanted the 165 stock but they didnt have it they had 170, he said he could order stock 165 for $16 and stock needle for $34 thats a rip in my opinion i thought i saw on bikebandit.com main jet was $4.50 + shipping, what could i do with a 170 mikuni, could i change needle settings to lean it out if to big, or do a POORMAN BAK

Hell IF it comes to that I might have a stock main laying around that I can send. Hell that would be what 41 cents shipping? Maybe 82 cents?

PM me your mailing address I have a bunch of Mikuni jets that I can;t use I will send you some of what I think you need.

Dang Curt you and I think alike.

that would be great sheepdog, would it be correct to go back to stock with my set up, and i would owe u one

Get with Curt, I think he is gonna send you multiple jets. Allowing you to fine tune what you need.

And I think with not airbox changes other than K&N you should be stock jetting just PMS adjustment.
