Hello everyone..ive been following this board for a while now and just picked up a mint 2003 with 1100 miles from the original owner, who purchaced from the dealer in may of this year as a leftover..to say the least , i'm psyched. Anyway, i just fitted a set of LEO high mounts and was wonering about jetting and settings. which kit is perfered by the group, factory pro or DJ? or does it even matter. are the included instructions the best recomendations for settings or has some one found a better adjustment? Thanks in advance

 

Factory Pro for the jet kit. Stick with the stock filter. It's easier to tune for. What's your elevation?

 

sealevel, i live in manhattan,NY...i noticed factory pro has several kits or shall i say... stages for this bike. should i get the one that recomends the KN and jsut keep the stock filter? What do you think? Jason

 

Hi,

Maybe we can ride together sometimes, I'm in CT about 1 1/2 hours away from NYC. Some nice back roads here in CT and upstate NY.

Congratulations on the purchase!!

Mike

 

Okay, with high mounts you want to jet just a tad leaner than lowmounts. So, with the Factory 1.0 or 1.1 Ti kit use a 182/185 f/r main jet, stock idle jets, needle clips second from bottom, and mixture screws 2.0 turns out. After you're done jetting, reinstall the carbs and do a good synchronization.

 

sounds good..ever make it up to bear mountian..ever down that way?Jason

 

thanks for the tips. still ditch the k&N? and is it worth the xtra money for the ti-kit

 

Well, you can try using the K&N. There's about a 50% success rate jetting for it. The 1.1 Ti kit will last longer.

 

understood...i'll post my results. thanks for the advice..Jason
