#91827 chadparker (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 80 Replace Main Jet w/o removing carb? 7 Months ago   Can I replace the main jet without removing the carb? I did this with the Pilot jet, but is it possible with the Main?

(Many times) It's too easy to take the carb off for me to do it with it on the bike. Only takes me a few minutes more to take it off and take it to my bench. Just my preference.   Logged     2006 Midnight. Roland, The Roadie   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91846 Curt (User) Never to old to ride!

I can change all my jets adjust the needle retank and running in 15 minutes now.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91882 chadparker (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 80 Re:Replace Main Jet w/o removing carb? 7 Months ago   Is the Main Jet slotted so all I need is a screw driver (like the Pilot)?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #91886 Blackroadie (User) If it ain't broke, You ain't ridin' hard enuf !

Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 Re:Replace Main Jet w/o removing carb? 7 Months ago   I replaced my screws with little bolts and about 6 washers each. I can loosen and tighten them easily and putting them back in is just as easy. But remember to torque and retorque. I'm thinking I should use some superglue to make the stacks more permenant.   Logged     I wanna be the first kid on my block with a confirmed Kill!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #92308 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4582 Re:Replace Main Jet w/o removing carb? 7 Months ago   Be careful so you don't strip them, the carb casting is very soft aluminum, thats why they used the softer screws..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
