Hi all, someone told me how to find out if my carb have been already re-jetted is to find if the brass plug is still on the carburetor but I don't know where to look at or how it looks like and just wondering if anyone can send me a picture of it or picture of the actual location I should be looking at.
I also check my air filter and found out that I have a some kind of foam with a wire that goes around inside the airbox not the typical air filter looking, anyone know what kind is it ? good or bad?
Also the end of the Supertrapp exhaust has some kind of plate stack together covering the end of the exhaust therefore there is no hole on the end like the typical exhaust. Are this normal? I have pictures but no way to post it but can send to anyone if interested . Thanks all :)

Thanks The good guy, so am I'm I looking at the bottom part of the carburator? Is it visible even though the carb is still on the bike? what side would it be on on the left leg or right leg while siiting on the bike?

there are one on each side. Its covered by this brass plug. You can feel it when on the bike, but to drill it out you need to take the carbs off and drill it out and use an EZ out on it (left handed plug / screw extractor).
I think they are on the outside of the carbs when sitting on the bike. but i am not sure someone else confirm.

Sounds like a K&N replacement filter. This is a direct replacement that also comes with a restrictor plate. With plate and no rejetting necessary, w/o and minor rejetting is suggested...or so I remember. Definitely not stock but most likely a direct replacement.

That is the signature of teh SuperTrapp system. Those plates should have little screws on them (3 I think) facing back of bike. You can "tune" the exhaust performance and sound by how many plates you install.
