Only thing I needed to do to my needle jet was move the factory washer to raise the needle in the jet.

:cool:

remember jose's thread? he had to cut off the top of the needle cause he moved it out so freakin much. i gotta go find that thread an see what he did.

alright so i am finished with the needle circuit and now it pulls really smooth and the plug looks good. here are pics of how easy it is to get the needle stuff out[attachment=2:1o1tce54]DSC09777.JPG[/attachment:1o1tce54][attachment=1:1o1tce54]DSC09778.JPG[/attachment:1o1tce54] so then to makes ure i was at the right throttle amount i just stuck some tape to the handle and switch pod that way all i had to do was ride down the street and hold it there[attachment=0:1o1tce54]DSC09779.JPG[/attachment:1o1tce54]

Did you need to raise the needle very much? :??:

geezer · 07-24-2011, 11:05 PM

ended up getting another washer about half the size of the one thats in there. after doing what jieme did the bike would not even start so i backed it off quite a bit. also i regret to inform everyone but all this was really for nothing. bike aint any faster might be if im running around at full throttle but other than that.....oh well at least i never fell into peer pressure and give up :lol:

Never give up on an idea unless you can prove to yourself it won't work. Great effort. :2tup: :rawk:
Are you going to go back to stock now? :poke2: :poke2:
