Factory jet kits

[Michael]

Just my plug for these guys.  I know some of you think making it up as you go along is all part of the fun but if you are into point and shoot like I am, consider these kits.  I had no end of trouble sorting out the jetting with the Uni filter in the airbox on my Australian '01.  Stock had 115 mains, 17.5 pilots, screws out 3 3/4 turns, needles on the second notch from the top.  I had it out to 125 mains, needles raised 2 notches and the screws at 3 1/2 turns and it never felt right and used a lot more fuel.
I have now put in the Factory kit for the '01 (127.5 mains, new needles on the standard settings, 22.5 pilots and the screws at 2 1/2 turns) and put on a new pipe (Magnum Pro Series from Formula 1 in Australia //www.formula1mc.com.au) and the difference is miraculous.  It has more grunt, it has lost the flat spot in the midrange, it is smoother, has this really nice throaty growl at lower revs that turns into a mean wail at higher revs but is barely noticable at cruising speeds, and fuel consumption is back to almost as good as stock.  Why didn't I do this sooner?!
