    elivation jetting question

    so come to find out the po did not touch the carbs on my gs1100ez i live in salt lake and the elevation i ride in ranges from 4200 feet to 9000 feet. on the stage three dynojet it has a 132 and a 138 main jet do you think i should start there or start with a different size. gs1100ez pods and 4 to 1 free flowing exhaust. thanks for the input

    There's not much difference in jetting with altitude until you get up to about 10,000'

    You'll just have to jet and see what your plugs tell you

    Remember, you want smaller jets and less fuel with altitude

      You have CV carbs, they are elevation compensating. Sea level jetting works fine up to 14,000 ft., I go there all the time. Earlier carbs suck above about 4,000 ft or so... Unless the jetting is changed. That's why I stick with CV carbs. If you have switched to pods the compensation may not work so well.
