Bogging at around 6k

Took my bike out in the neighborhood, and wound 1st up, started bogging bad at 6k. So I guess I am going to have to dig into the carbs. The bike has a Supertrapp without any of the discs installed, and PODs, so I am thinking the jetting is probably not setup right. I guess while I have them off, I will get the o-rings for the intake side. Should I just get a Stage 2 kit, and redo them?? Help!
 
Clean & Dip the carbs, install new intake O rings, buy a DynoJet kit for it if it doesn't have one (best with K&N pods not foam or cheap ones) & away you go... Almost guaranteed success!

That's what I did on recommendation here.

Dan :)
 
Don't run pods without jetting the bike properly. You will hole a piston. Up the main jet at least four sizes (ex 110-120) and shim the needle.
 
If it's "bogging bad" at those RPM then you've prob. got a blocked main jet.

If you want to cut out a lot of mucking around trying to come up with a main jet size that's 'in the ball park' for your engine's current state of tune, then I recommend getting a fuel check by a dyno operator. That will tell you the air-fuel ratio across the rev-range, and an experienced operator should be able to advise on what size main jet to try next.

All the best!

No, and you are right, I have not had the bike too long. It almost sounds like it is missing. I will pull the ignition cover off to see what the points look like. Man I have not looked at points in a very long time. I can not believe that the PO would not have re jetted with the Supertrapp pipe and K&N pod filters. It sputters out in the mid range. I got the bike plated today so I took the bike for a good run including a interstate blast. I opened it up to get past mid range, and she took off, looked down to see 110 :eek:, backed right off. I have a bad leaky fork seal too. I have them ordered. Once I fix the bogging, the front brakes, and the fork seals, this should be a fun bike.
 
Well, I looked at the points and they looked like they were new. I also took a couple of the spark plugs out which also looked new, and they were sooted up pretty bad. Does this mean it's running too rich????
