Title: Where to buy exhaust/filter/jets online?
Post by: snipes on September 09, 2005, 09:58:57 PM
I've got an '02 GS500, currently stock.  Looking to buy aftermarket exhaust (probably V&H), filter, and jets for DIY rejetting (per all the recommendations I've seen in the forums here).  Can anyone recommend a good online parts dealer?  I'd like to buy everything in one place if I can.

While we're at it, anyone have another recommended setup?  I've seen plenty of good things said about the V&H Supersport, K&N Lunchbox, and 150/40/1/3 jetting.

Thanks.

Rich.

i'm rejetting my 2001 as well. you can't buy everything you need from one place.

K & N RU-2970 (http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/knfilters/details?part_num=RU-2970&ajr_skey=e839485e6558d2ab77c5db4e9f8f14c8)

they ship out on the same day.

2 x N102.221 #147.5
2 x N102.221 #67.5
2 x N224.103 # 20

check your local hardware stores for the #4 washers and socket head bolts (4mm x .7 x 12mm).

JetSwing, I'm going to be running those exact same jets when I rejet coming soon. How many washers will I need and what are socket head bolts (4mm x .7 x 12mm) for?

I'm an idiot with carbs, please excuse my ignorance.

washers...one on each carb. i have extras in case i need to add more.

the socket head screws are float bowl screw (philips head) replacement. there's no way you'll get them loosen with a regular screw driver. you'll endup stipping the head. i haven't tried the impact wrench (i didn't want to spend money on it).

i got some off using a vise grip. you have to be very careful. the screws are very "soft". some that i couldn't get with vise grip, i slotted them using a rotory tool. then, used a flat head screw driver bit and scoket wrench.

THANKS, what kind of filters are you running with those jets (pods)? And do you have a slip-on/bolt-on or a full system exhaust?

when i bought the impact it was like 7 bucks at autozone. now that I have had it for a while I use it almost exclusivly to loosen bolts.  dude you can't go wrong with one.
