Hi

I have removed my V&H , K&N and my jetkit, .It got too loud.

I wonder how to set up my carb`s ?

It runs pretty good, but it`s unstable at idle.
How many turns is the air/fuel-mixture orginally ?

Everything is back to orginally now..

Greetings from Norway !!

Welcome!

What year model?

If it's an '89-'00 Stock maybe 1.5 turns out on the mixture screws, but it will run better with 2.5 to 3 turns out. Size 40 pilot jets, 125 main jets. Ideally, the needle should be shimmed up .5mm - 1mm.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

If it's an '01-03, it has #15 pilot jets, 127.5 main jets, and 60 mid mains. Stock is something like 2.25 turns, but it runs better at 3 turns out.

If it's an '04+, #15 pilots, 60 mid mains, 130 mains, and 2.25 ish for the air/fuel screw. It runs better with the screw at 3 turns out, though.
