what to do?

[520eek]

Glad to see you got it up and running, always a good felling. I can't remember , due to the head case jacking the thread, what you were doing with the carbs, Dyno kit or single jetting changes? Nice looking luggage, what are they? and I'm not sure what you took for that crazy rant on EMGO pods but they really are the garbage, if you can afford APES they last forever and will work much better, but all that said use what you have, I'm always a waste not want not type of person.

When I took it out today it ran poorly ( duh ) and someone here had mentioned a 122.5 jet. Dyno jets are like in the 155 or so range. In order for it to run right I had to hold the choke all the way on. Well not run right, but at least respond decently so I could make it to gas station 1 mile away.

I also got on it hard to see how it pulls before I put right handed anchor on it..it pulled really well! But now I have a annoying rattle sound at idle, not bad, but there. I will check tensioner and see if that helps. Then if that doesn't do it I will check valves and cams to make sure all is well.

I like the way the APES look, and I have read more than once on here to get the dyno jet kit. I will sleep on it tonight. I did write the phone numbers for both on a piece of paper and will take it to work with me though....

The bags are top loading pelican cases, ( 1430 ) they should do the trick!

You could always post here and see if someone has a used Dyno they want to sell. Worth a try anyways.

"due to the head case jacking the thread,"

Twisted history there, bud. Wolf offered up an opinion, and the next poster jumped his sh*t, pretty much calling him an idiot for his opinion, which carries as much weight as yours or mine.

"They barely keep out anything bigger than a pebble. I can see that you don't care much for your bikes, if you choose to run such crappy filtration."

Finally took bike out for it's first ride after a whole bunch of work over the months. Guess what? It don't run very well with stock set up on carbs with pods and free flow exhaust! LOL I did notice it runs real good if I pull the choke all the way up....

So now wait till Monday and get a hold of Z1 and order some jets. There seems to be a problem with online ordering right now on their website.

Also, the top end seems to be a bit "rattley"...don't recall it making that kind of rattle noise before. I just resealed top end. Gonna have to recheck valve clearances again soon anyway

SUDCO has a great selection of jets and other essential carb parts. They get stuff out quickly as well.

So, you post something that's simply your opinion, as well?? Smooth move, Ex-Lax... The fact is, EMGO air filters are CRAP.

Pardon me if I doubt the word of an insulting internet cowboy as "fact". I have personally ran plenty of Emgo filters and consider them a much better product for the money than K&N that cost 4-5 times as much money. Since I've not had any kind of filtration or lifespan issues with them, your "fact" is worthless drivel, your opinion and nothing more, just like mine.

I think the polarity of the opinions is largely due to jetting nuances. It should not be that hard to believe that a K&N jet kit was not designed for the restricted flow characteristics of a Emgo pod. The Emgo pods can probably be jetted to run adequately but I doubt they will ever perform to the level that the K&N pod with K&N jet kit will. I say that they are restricted due to two factors that are readily apparent from inspection. a.) the reduced surface area and b.) the large rubber flange on the inside that binds the filter to manifold.

We also have it on good authority that the APE pods are equivalent in terms of jetting (quoting Chef).

I did buy a stack of embo pod filters and they are still rolling around in a box somewhere. I just went with K&N to avoid any unnecessary jetting nuances.
