Title: Jet confusion
Post by: Jlittle on September 04, 2009, 07:52:55 AM
Hello, i haven't been on here in a long time.  My bikes been off the road and its been a rough year for me due to financial problems.  :cry: Anyway i just got it back on the road and its running poorly.  Been told by a few people that my jets need to be replaced.  Well i have a KN lunchbox i purchase for this bike last year and i figured since i'm ordering new jets i should order the larger ones to compensate for the larger air flow.  I read the wiki and i was a little confused on what jets to purchase. pilot 20 mid-main 62.5 or 65 main 142.5  Its the web pages that you purchase them that confuse me.  Would anyone be able to give me the URL and 3 part No. of these jets so i dont order the wrong ones?  It would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks again guys and im glad to be back on the ole GS again.

Why you little ...  :cookoo: ... long time no see ...

K&N and stock pipe = hard to jet right.
Do slip on pipe and its 20/65 (if needed) and 147.5. I sell them as a packwith float bowl bolts for $25 wihtout mids, and with mids $33, shipped.

Cool.

I got 2 ... but not the cheap ass crap types ... Titanium oval scorpion with blue to gold fire pattern and Ti round/oval FMF plain ti, brand new both ...

300 bones for either and sadly I think I am selling the bike it was meant for without it ... The FMF I would fit on my sv if I make the mid pipe of my dreams. Lets see, many GS/GR's in the pipe line as of right now.

Cool.
