Title: Need to rejet with new exhaust?
Post by: hambonee on February 19, 2010, 04:00:32 PM
Quick question, you guys and gals have been a great resource for my newb questions so thanks!

I know this is in the forum under a few seperate posts but the answers seem about equal both ways so I am asking again to see if I can get a consensus.

I want to buy a Jardine full exhaust replacement for my 2009 GS500F

This way I get to keep the old exhaust still usable if I ever need for any reason and my bike sounds more betta!  :D

Question is, will I need to get the carbs rejetted? If so does anyone know someone in the Pac NW near Seattle(well, I'm in Bellevue) that can do it?

Opinions all? Most seem to say that the bike would be running too lean for the new exhaust but some places and sites say you don't need to rejet. I am sooo confused!  :dunno_black:

Thanks in advance!

Doug

Get a jet kit from Buddha, and I can help you rejet your carbs. I'm over in West Seattle  :cheers: There is a chart on the wiki that shows you what you'll need.
