Took my bike out in the neighborhood, and wound 1st up, started bogging bad at 6k. So I guess I am going to have to dig into the carbs. The bike has a Supertrapp without any of the discs installed, and PODs, so I am thinking the jetting is probably not setup right. I guess while I have them off, I will get the o-rings for the intake side. Should I just get a Stage 2 kit, and redo them?? Help!

Clean & Dip the carbs, install new intake O rings, buy a DynoJet kit for it if it doesn't have one (best with K&N pods not foam or cheap ones) & away you go... Almost guaranteed success!
That's what I did on recommendation here.

Don't run pods without jetting the bike properly. You will hole a piston.

Thanks, I look at the main jet to see what size it is.Comment

If it's "bogging bad" at those RPM then you've prob. got a blocked main jet.
If you want to cut out a lot of mucking around trying to come up with a main jet size that's 'in the ball park' for your engine's current state of tune, then I recommend getting a fuel check by a dyno operator. That will tell you the air-fuel ratio across the rev-range, and an experienced operator should be able to advise on what size main jet to try next.
All the best!Comment

HELLO, have you replaced or set yout points Yet.Unless youve done carbs before,and have checked for elc,connections, timeing.diagnossing. vacume leaks 1/2 broke wire I take youve not owned bike long. good luck. SANComment

No, and you are right, I have not had the bike too long. It almost sounds like it is missing. I will pull the ignition cover off to see what the points look like. Man I have not looked at points in a very long time. I can not believe that the PO would not have re jetted with the Supertrapp pipe and K&N pod filters. It sputters out in the mid range. I got the bike plated today so I took the bike for a good run including a interstate blast. I opened it up to get past mid range, and she took off, looked down to see 110Originally posted by SAN View Post
, backed right off. I have a bad leaky fork seal too. I have them ordered. Once I fix the bogging, the front brakes, and the fork seals, this should be a fun bike.

Well, I looked at the points and they looked like they were new. I also took a couple of the spark plugs out which also looked new, and they were sooted up pretty bad. Does this mean it's running too rich????Comment
