Installed 120 jets n 17.5 pilot
30 Aug 2015 17:54
I went up from 102.5 main to 120 and 15 pilot to 17.5. Low end to mid range is sort of lacking and high end could be stronger.. I have pods and a kerker 4 to 1 I bought it like that, wish I had stock airbox but don't. Few questions ..
Would adjusting the clips for needle height help any?
I want to try one more jet combo.. I'm thinking 130 main and 22.5 pilot.. or do u think 125 would be better... if I gas it I first the front end won't come up. Not in any gear just feels alot better with the new jets but still needs more. Any input greatly appreciated, thx

When was the last time the valves were adjusted?

Idk Iv never done it. I bought the bike July 4th, don't have new valve cover gasket so I haven't done any checking on the valves yet. Wasn't sure old gaskets would seal properly

Try 20 pilots. For a stock bike the 120 mains are probably right or very close. Checking valve clearance is a great idea.
