So I had a busy weekend, I installed a set of Gimbel Rear Set's and put in a 22.5, 65, 145 jets with the K&N Lunchbox.

All went in alright and the bike actually started afterwards (which I was surprised about).

I got two questions.

I had to purchase a breather valve for the tube that went from the Airbox to the Intake manifold. The one I bought looks liek garbage compared to the one of the WIKI. IS there are specific one I should buy or will anyone due.

Also, engine seem to pull alright with the new jet kit. I got some hesitation around 8,000 RPM though. I did 3 turns on the air mixture screw. Do you think it could be running a little rich so another half a turn would fix it?

Lastly, (i know i said two questions but i just thought of another) should my bike jsut start up without choke now? When I orginally started it (after the swap) I need the choke but I figured that was because the carburators were empty.

Oh, btw-anyone interested in jets for the matrix i described above. I ended up buying in 4's from Sudco, so I have a (stage three) DIY jet kit for sale, if anyone is interested.

A hesitation is lean, at 8k rpm I would say to move the circlip on the needle down a notch.

Is that applicable for a 04?

I did not touch or see the 'needles' while I was doing it. I just replaced the Main mid main and pilot.

He has an '04 F, it should have the needle with multiple grooves. '89-'00 need shims/washers (3mm dia. by .5mm thickness).
