i also debafled my stock pipes and was worndering if i need to rejet as the bike backfires on decerlation and if i need to go up or down in jet size

when i bought the bike the guy had taken off the air box lid and instaled an K&N filter and i read thats a big nono any thing i can retro fix this with?

Indeed!


codfish, welcome. Read over the knowledge forum section. A good bit of your questions can be answered or narrowed down in there.

I woulld be heading into the carbs next to see what you have in them. Jetting could still be way off, or you have dirt in the jets.
