[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 126831, member: 2409"] Joe, I am sorry I didn't respond to your previous post about jetting. The truth is I think I need to put some kilometres on this old beast with the little bit of summer we have left. I want to at least get a 300 to 400km ride in and check gas mileage. We have some great 100k/h roads around Calgary that are smooth and little traffic during the week that I love to cruise on. Actually the bike has run pretty consistently ever since I added heat to the plenum. And I am using all the original jets that came with the carb. So, as far as the carb goes I haven't had to mess with it. I did buy a #55 idle jet, early on, and tried it but I couldn't get as good an idle as with the #50 so stuck with that. Adding the 2 to 1 adapter has made it run even better, once I stopped the air leaks, but still same jetting. Bike has lots of low end torque and a pretty good top end rush. But I like to short shift most of the time so the torque is my friend there. Much better than OEM setup. This last issue of quitting, when not fully warmed up, when throttle closed quickly, I think I have solved by turning the idle speed up slightly. I have been busy with other things so haven't ridden since that adjustment. Brian [/QUOTE]
