After a lot of searching on here i decidied that im getting big gun full exhaust, k&n filter, dyna cdi, and a radiator hose for the intake, all of which i have on the way except the hose.

Now i understand that i need to rejet, and after a whole lot more serching came to the conclusion i need to go up one or two sizes and add a shim.

But what number is up one size? 150-->151? Thats what seems logical but I cant find a definite numerical value to answer my question because then i see people saying 170.

I ride @ 600 ft (plow my house),1200 ft (most of my trail riding), and 2000 ft (once in a while)

Usually every 2-3 sizes is how they come. Example 150 then jumps to 152 would be next size up.

Jetting with mods

It really is a science, especially if you want it right so I recommend putting in just as much research time as wrenching time. Take into account your normal riding elevation and I would start by going with whatever the engineers recommend from Big Gun for jet size and air/fuel ratio for the exhaust you are installing. I would start there and if it is still lean with filter and hose bump up a touch more. Someone on here probably has the same setup and these guys r brilliant so good luck. My rule with all my machines is "lean is mean" but push the envelope and "boom goes the dynamite."

well starting with 142f-146r and 1 shim per. The guy at the shop has done a bunch of these and recommended 2 shims with this combo but the "kit" he threw together for me had a hole in the bag and one fell out so with three shims i figured i will just try one for now and get another shim from him if its bad.

exhaust and air filter just got here 10 minutes ago so maybe i will try to paint the pipes at work tonight and put it on tomorrow, if not then definitely Saturday.

stock size jetting

Hey just wondering if you got the parts on and what your stock main jets r.

 

[jakedogg]

Keihin 142f - 145r, I shim under each needle, and about 2.5 turns out on the air/fuel screw. < That should get you pretty close. You may have to do a 145-148 combo.

got the jets in with one shim per needle. the stock jets didnt have any numbers on them so i dont really know what im going from.

didnt strt her up yet as the new exhaust hates me. i snapped both header studs on the front and had to drill em out and retap. then i was gonna put my front pipe on and call it a night but it wont fit!!!!!!!! its too close to the frame and hits the frame keeping it from lining up properly..... WTF!!!!!

i did get the rear pipe, the muffler, napa hose mod, new jets/shims, and my dyna cdi in though so i guess the day was not a total loss.

Any suggestions for pipe, you guys have trouble getting em on?

I had a HMF pipe that just would not fit on a prairie and ended up returning it. That's what I love about the muzzys they usually fit like a glove.

okay i am no expert but the pipe fits if i run it outside of the frame. it goes out around the frame at the front then comes back in close to go under the rest of the plastics. i was just out there and it will fit perfect like that. i think it might be for air flow purposes.

oh well i guess i had one too many last night... no beer now and problem solved.
