So I took the slides out of my carbs and it appears they've got a jet kit. The needles are set on clip position 3 however the bike has a flat spot around 7,000 rpm. In the carb setup thread I read on here they were saying the aftermarket needles generally don't work as well as the factory ones so I'd like to go back to stock and work from there. I assume being it's got different needles it's got aftermarket springs as well. So if anyone has the factory springs and needles they'd be willing to part with please let me know.

 

Hi GTS

I put a Dynojet kit in my VTR (along with Moriwaki exhaust and K&N filter) and it's always worked just fine with the base settings the Dynojet kit said to use. Maybe AI just got lucky. Or maybe I'm a wuss rider and don't push the bike hard enough to notice the flaws.

In any event, I think I still have my original needles and springs. I'll look when I'm down in the garage today. Let me know if you're interested.

 

Well I was kind of looking to go back to the stock needle and do the baseline Hawk laid out in his carb setup thread. However I swapped the 50 pilots for 48 pilots, plugged one hole in the front slide and the thing runs great! I had thought about going up once size on the mains but I'm not sure if I really need it or not now.

Thanks so much for your reply! I appreciate it, but I think I'm going to see how what I've got works so far.
