I am thinking about pods for my kaw. I just had a few quick questions. What size pods do I need 39mm? if I install pods will I have to change the jets if so could u recommend the size of the jet I should start with? Will I have to tweak the ignition timing, coils any of it? I did not know if I would need a hotter spark or not. What kinds of pro's and cons are associated with pods? Thanks guys!!

I found with the pods that the engine would bog down with strong gusts of wind. Also, if it rained the outer two pods would get soaked and cause difficulty starting. I started to carry a plastic bag around to cover them up in case of rain. I finally got fed up and switched back to the stock air box with K&N filter.

Where is that #1 part go? I think it's a baffle plate? I've looked inside my airbox and all I see is the base for the air filter and the 4 rubber tubes from the carbs...:S
That is a plastic plate that bolts to the frame just behind where the two tubes of the top frame rail come together. The only purpose for it that I can see is to keep the air filter in place should it somehow unscrew (not very likely to happen and since it is under the seat where can it possibly go?). All in all it is pretty useless so if your bike is missing it don't sweat it.

Hey nick!Why don't you try your air mixture screws? Those might be a bit more help at leaning out your mix, and if not it might be a jet setting or the clip on the needle.
I have thought of doing some of that, but my bike has been running great all season, and I have never even looked at the plugs this year. I'm lucky to get out and ride most of the time, with family comitments and such, that I haven't spent much time wrenching this past year.:whistle:
