    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 feel the pain,

I got this bike a month ago and it was running great. Thought I would do a valve adjustment and carb rebuild, found that the valves were way out and the carb floats were adjusted incorrectly. Got it together and ran so much better, but then started to backfire. I noticed all 4 intake boots were literally falling off. I'm waiting for them now...

I just wonder, if I got pods, exhaust, and a stage 3 jet kit, how much "tuning" do I need to do after that, or is it as simple as installing those three items and your off?

For pipe and pods a stage 3 will hit pretty darn close. You might have to raise the needle one more notch, or change the pilot screw slightly, but it will be pretty close. Worth the money to not drive yourself crazy trying to jet it yourself without a dynometer.
 
Thats what I like to hear. I'm looking at $500 to do it all, so it might be a winter project. :drool:
 
I was hoping pipe install was going to do it for me this year. Plan was a rebuild this winter. That timetable got changed to "now" unfortunately, But. It's going to run like champ after.
 
#2 pipe on mine has a dent in it from PO. I don't think it is big enough to cause any reprocussions, but I just want a 4-1, pods, and a jet kit. Sounds like a great package. I would get some great sound out of it and hopefully some more power (though it has good power now).

Let me know how yours turns out.
 
Before all my mods that I started messing around with, I did have an old black V&H pipe on it that already had a jet kit. It sounded really good and it took off very well too. Just loved the sound that came our the pipe when hitting those high rpm's.
