Jetting for a transplanted Georgia bike to WI 7 Months ago  
Well, I just decided to see what was in the carb as for settings. Here's what I found out...
Main: 165 R w/ square next to it
Pilot: 50 R w/ square " " "
Needle: washer,clip(on 5th from blunt),spacer,washer
PMS: 2½ out
Elevation: 700'
MPG: 33-40
Pipes: Cobra long shoguns
K&N filter and box

The mileage isn't terrible, but I would like a little more. The bike seems to run fine, but pipes are black and it's hard to compare if that's all you are used to. The bike is originally from Ga. and I don't know if this set up is the best for up here in WI.??? summer temps anywhere 60's-90's. So, what do you guys think? Thanks.

First I would for sure get a 35 mik pilot jet.

The 165 mik main might be a litle lean but test it out. Leave the needle and PMS where they are and do the WOT. If the main checks out move the clip to the 4th groove and tweak the needle and PMS from there. If the main is too lean try a 167.5 or 170 mik main and do the WOT over again.
