78 ltd1000-stage three kit

bike starts and idles great...but even when wwarm doesn't like just putting around..if throttle is cracked it goes like helll...dyna jet kit says stage three kit compromises drivability...is this what i'm experiencing??

whats the kit come with?:whistle:

says to use 140 mains...middle slot on needles...same stock pilots...idles good...throttle snaps quick...just when putting breaks up a bit...

what mods have you done to the engine to make you feel that you need a stage 3 kit ????
:huh:

1015 wiseco drop-in kit...little head porting...k&n pods...mac 4-1...open can...accel ciols..dyna-s ign..

140 mains seem to be a little much.what do the plugs look like??are they black and sooty looking.

Spark plug reading 101 center electrode (were you set the gap)will give you your main jet reading and the outter edge of the plug will be your idle circuit.

according to the old kaw guy web site i should be able to open my plug gap to .039 inches due to aCCEL SUPER COILS AND OPEN CAN...ANY INPUT??

Input on what? Your ignition or the jet kit? First, the jet needles in your jet kit are the same ones that go in almost all the jet kits made for all models. They are not matched to the needle jets AT ALL. Also, there is NO middle slot on a DJ jet needle. They have six slots. Last, the main jet doesn't make much difference when "putting around". The pilot circuit is most likely the "putting around" part of the carb at work although I can't really gauge what the term "putting around" means. What throttle position are you talking about? RPM range? Since the DJ kit doesn't even give you a new pilot jet and you are in need of them, that is where I would start. Of course, I would also remove their jet needles and main jets to get the bike running right as well but that is just me.

the needle jets with my stage three have 5 slots...kit says to use the middle....

your running lean at the needles, drop the clip one notch and youll be fine. If it still sputters on take off when its hot, go one size bigger on the pilot.
