I made this post is in another thread with a subject line not referring to jets at all, so I am giving it it's own thread.....

The hard part to rejetting is getting the bank of carbs onto the workbench. Remove the seat, plastics, tank and airbox. Now label, take pictures, scribble hieroglyphs on parchment, do whatever it takes for you to get EVERY VACUUM/FUEL line back EXACTLY where it came from, sparing everybody the post about how you just removed your carbs and now your bike runs like compost.

Once the carbs are on the bench take your JIS screwdriver or small Vice-Grips and remove the screws to the fuel bowls. Once the bowls are off, the main jet is in the middle and the pilot is off to the side. THAT IS IT PERIOD!

I watched your "Brake Lever" & "Center Stand" vids, your a good "Pitchman", you have patience (I don't) and stellar video editing capability. If you noticed I made my jetting post short, sweet, to the point, and brutally honest. Maybe between the two of us with my knowledge of carbs and you as a pitchman, maybe we could come up with something usable??

Love to! You can tell me what to do and you can run the camera.
Gets a little tricky sometimes when I'm doing everything myself. Sometimes hard to position the cameras in the best place or be sure they're running  :technical:
(yes - the brake was all done by myself in last night. Total time start to finish: 6 hours)
