Putting on the new pipes was only half of the fun. Now I need to rejet the carb.
I am not sure of why this needs to be done. I t has something to do with air fuel
mixtures and the amount of the each. There is alot of information on the web if you
want to learn about this. I will detail some pictures of the process in this article.
I did not take a picture of every step. Nor is this document intended to be a How-To.
If you are considering doing this procedure on your bike, I can say its not that hard.
There are a few confusing parts in the instructions, the web proved to be a great resource
for clarification. I will list the reference site at the end of this article. For now, on with the pictures!
Ok, time to take this puppy apart! Here is my baby without the tank and seat. BTW - Those pipes where put on about 1 hr before this picture was taken!
Here is the carborator before attempting to take it off. I must admit, it does look intimidating. But im brave! lol
Well, here you have it. The right and left side of the cyclinders minus the carb.
It still looks intimidating even out of the bike.
The process now was just to follow the rejet instructions. I had to drill our the slide hole with the supplied drill bit. Change the main jets to the ones specified for my pipes and replace the needles. Hard to beleive 6 measly parts cost me like $70.00. Oh and had to drill out the adjustement screw plugs. Here is a picture of the carb with the plug and after its been drilled out.
Much to my surprise the bike started up after the procedure was done! Even more to my surprise is that it needed absolutely no additional adjustments.
Rejetting a carborator was not something for the faint of heart to do. Think about it, you are taking a drill to your carborator. Not to mention
just removing it from the bike is pretty tricky. Now that I discouraged you from doing it yourself, here are some reasons why you should do it.
Its better than paying someone else to do it. You become better aqaunted with the architecture of your bike. It was fun!
Oh, I almost forgot, here is a great reference for rejetting your carb:
