I'm In Los Angeles, CA and I'm trying to figure out what jets i should order for less fuss. I want a smooth ride with better pickup.

I have a 91
Just ordered the K&N Lunchbox
stock pipes with a 08 R6 oem Slipon

What jets and setup should i start with?
I love it but requires a little more throttle to launch well after muffler install.

2007 K&N Lunchbox filter, Full Jarding Exhaust, 20/65/145. Bike starts better, runs great, nothing else touched except Idle adjusted just alittle. Maybe some on can answer. Bike pulles hard up to 7 or 8 grand then seems to be starved at wot. I did not adjust the mixing screws or add a washer to the needle. The carbs have been synced. Maybe try 20/65/147.5? The bike does run great and I don't need to fix it but I would like to tweak it for optimum performance. Thanks :thumb:

might want to try the 147.5, but first make sure there are no kinks in fuel or vacuum lines. If you have an inline filter, get rid of it. Check for vacuum leaks, and make sure your valves are in spec. Then try the bigger jets. If the bigger jets don't work, try a size smaller.

Thanks...... I will try 147.5 because lt runns soooo much better. It just needs a tweak. It will be a while before I pull it apart but I will update when I do. Thanks again :D

Plug chops will tell you if lean or rich at WOT.

If you have never done this before, it's easy.  Go to a highway.  Remove existing plugs and replace with new ones (Regular, not iridium).  Immediately accelerate to near or at WOT.  You may need to drop down a gear or two to maintain high RPMs WITHOUT excessive speeding.  After 2 minutes, hit kill switch, pull in clutch and check the white porcelain on plugs near center electrode.

You want brown.  If black, rich.  If white, lean.  That easy.
Bikeless and Broke at the moment...

Thanks... I will do that once the weather warms up. I will post results when I do it :cheers:

Update: The jet info on the bike is the same and runs GREAT :icon_mrgreen: Full Jardine, Lunchbox, 20/65/145, nothing else touched. I believe the problem before was bad gas. I filled the tank with fresh gas and sea foam and its running better than ever, even at wot. Very Happy with the mods and recommend them on the GS.  :cheers:  Plugs Look like they are suppose to. Thanks!!

Runs great. Warms up much faster, no more backfires on deceleration, pulls well from about 3k on up. Idles a bit high after the rejet, so I need to adjust.

Stock exhaust
20/60/142.5
1 washer
2.5 turns

Runs great with a hard pull over the entire rev range; no flat spots.  Normally no choke required; only when it's been sitting in the cold for a while. Very responsive and fast acceleration at highway speeds.
Stock jetting felt flat over 7K RPM and didn't have a hard pull.

Favorite food would have to be a home-made Black Forest cherry cake, but seared scallops are a close second.

My needle is the notched one with the c-clip, and I believe it is on the second from the bottom.

Warm-up time is around 2-3 minutes.

Runs good (better after I finish the valve adjustment I am currently doing.)  No flat spots, and it pulls hard.

so many lunchboxes in here.

is that filter easy to fit inside the frame? I don't want to buy aftermarket only to experience the same pain that the factory box gives me.

Factory airbox and factory filter with factory exhaust and just a little bit of rejetting 20/60/132.5 gave me an absolutely perfect result at sea level. Just sold my GS and it ran and idled perfectly, and still had the factory valve shims well in spec after 76k kms.
