    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I see quite a few people asking about carb jetting when changing exhaust or intake configurations.

Here is a common explanation on how to determin what jets to use.

By the way, I went to Basscliff's site to find this. He has access to a mountain of knowledge, and he made that knowledge available to every one. :D

I just thought I'd put my 2 cents in for today. I am happy that I found this information and mad at myself for not finding it sooner.:rolleyes:
 
Might get you close... I think 3 jet sizes for pods & a 4:1 is a bit small, that would only be a 122.5 on my bike. I was running that with a K&N inbox & 4:1.....
Can't remember what's in there now but it's bigger than 130 I'm sure (DJ kit)

That bit about the pods is about the only bit I disagree with. The cheap pods it might work ok like this.

good info as always on basses site but I think this would have done better in the performance section on here.

I just thought I'd post it here because I see a lot of people asking questions about jetting in this forum. (especially during carb rebuilds.) Some people ask if they can change to pods and/or replace the exhaust (4-1) durring the time of the carb rebuild.

I understand that the information is just a guideline to help you determin where to begin. Every motorcycle is different and should be treated accordingly.

Sorry for posting this in the wrong forum. I will try harder to post links in the proper location.
