Your main jet is likely #115, have you seen this chart from Basscliff's ?

magnifying glass
Maybe when I was younger I could see them. Now I have to use a magnifying glass and good light.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9zH8w8Civs8ejBJWjdvYi1LNTg&resourcekey=0-hlJp0Yc4K_VN9g7Jyy4KQg&authuser=fussbucket_1%40msn.com&usp=drive_fs

I am new to the site and VERY NEW to work on a bike and it is awesome to be able to type a question and get info. Great site guys. Thanks for the help. I would like to run pods, but from reading around, that can be a tricky thing.Comment

Just out of curiosity, what is your motivation for running pods?Originally posted by ruler7171 View Post
You will have to want them rather badly to install them on your bike, if I remember correctly. Unless you are willing to cut up the stock airbox (to the point where it can not be re-installed), you will have to pull the engine out of the frame to get the airbox out.

I wanted to go with pods to open up the frame a bit by getting rid of the air box and I liked the look that the pods bring. I was able to get the air box out (without any damage
)

Remove the engine...whhhhaaatt?
Yes, not very hard to remove the air box on the 450. I run pods on mine, took a while to get it tuned, but happy with the results (running short pipes as well...LOUD).1982 Suzuki GS450TZ

...................... hi i have found that buying from Z1 in the usa,,,,, all the jets are stamped ... also on each bag as well,,, the only time jets are not stamped is when you buy cheap crap for a fraction of the going price ,,, hope this helps you regards oldgrumpyOriginally posted by ruler7171 View PostComment

I'm going to run pods. My stock air box is in 2 pieces so I'm just going to cut it out. I have a replacement but I found out you can't install it without removing the motor which means probably breaking exhaust manifold bolts yadda yadda. Well, I ain't doing that, so I'm planning on fooling around with the jetting for awhile. I guess I'd rather pull the carbs in and out than pull the motor, drill out broken fasteners and all the other inevitable headaches.Comment

Wow, you make pods sound like fun- hopefully, I'll never get the urge!Originally posted by Maddevill View Post1981 gs650L

With carb and intake boots off it came out rather easyOriginally posted by tom203 View PostComment

You really don't need to remove the motor to pull/install the air box...just remove the carbs/intake boots and finagle it out of there.Originally posted by Maddevill View Post1982 Suzuki GS450TZ
