jetting
My ’98 SH originated in Florida where the owner had installed aftermarket cans and a K&N air filer. From the notes he kept it has a Factory Jet Kit - 178 Front, 180 Rear, clip on #3 and idle mixture 2 ½ turns out. I live above 6000’ in Colorado and I have returned it to the stock exhaust (keeping the K&N). After 4K miles or so the plugs look a little dark, but the bike runs GREAT, even up over Independence Pass at 14,000’. My question is, if the bike has been richened up to run at sea level with a more open exhaust, is it too rich to run in Colorado with the stock exhaust? Jusy how critical is all this jetting business anyway?
