#401559 Plumbwader (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 78 Running rich 10 Months, 1 Week ago   05 midnight star completely stock 10000 miles. Originally purchased in new mexico but now resides in south texas. It seems to be running rich because it backfires at shutdown and isnt getting great fuel economy (around 38 mpg running 65-70 mostly). Exactly which screw neess to be adjusted to lean it out a little. Does the carb need to be removed to adjust it. Thanks and please excuse my ignorance. This is my first roadie but its not my last. This is my favorite bike ive ever owned and ive put 1000 miles on it in the week 1/2 ive owned it. Just want it running right.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #401614 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

Jetting if known, pipes, air cleaner mods ect.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #401619 Plumbwader (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 78 Re:Running rich 10 Months, 1 Week ago   No mods completely stock. Stock pipes, stock air cleaner, and as far as i know stock jetting.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #401672 daglassguy (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 82 Re:Running rich 10 Months, 1 Week ago   I would just pull it off and completely clean. Because of age you need to pay close attention to float needle and seat. If when inspecting needle you notice a little indentation on rubber at tip change it. Cant remember how many times I had mine torn apart before I finally noticed it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #401692 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

It induces air into the exhaust ports to help burn unburned gas fumes and causes popping and backfiring. If it still does it after you get that off then we can trouble shoot more.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #401777 Plumbwader (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 78 Re:Running rich 10 Months, 1 Week ago   I have researched AIS removal on here. Are the steps for the 05 exactly the same as the steps outlined for the 04? Is it the same kit?
