I just installed one of Bob's ignition advancers and now it seems like the bike has a little bit harder time turning over for the first time it gets started of the day. Is this common? It hesitates a little longer than it used to, but then she turns over and is ready to rock. I have a 2001 gs. Also, does anyone have the part number off hand for the pilot jet for the 2001 using a pod filter and stock exhaust? I have the mid main and main jets already changed, but when i ordered my jets originally they sent me the wrong pilot so it never got changed. Oh yea, it never hesitated that much before the advancer so it isnt the fact that i have to small of a jet in the pilot. (However, i suppose that it could be the problem now that the ignition advancer is in.) Thanks for the advice.
my site has info on rejetting a 2001+ model. I have wrong info there though which I have been remiss in correcting.
the proper info/.part number is:
and I quote: "I did notice on your "Why re-jet a stock US bike" page you listed Part Number - 09420-40014 for #40 pilot jets. Could this possibly be a misprint? Maybe an old part number? I'm assuming you were referring to Suzuki Genuine Parts.
The reason I asked is because I went to my local suzuki dealer with this number (you have 09420-40014 listed) and he said it did not exist. He told me the first 5 digits did not match up under the Suzuki Genuine Parts Catalog, but the last 5 digits did: part no. 09492-40014 What was funny is he told me the description just said "pilot jet". Since he knew I wanted size #40 he told me there was part no. 09492-40018 which had the description "pilot jet 40". I'm not sure if these were possibly bleeders because the pilot jets I ended up ordering (part no. 09492-40014), which were the ones which matched yours the closest, ended up being what I wanted: 1 Mikuni #40 non-bleeder pilot jet. "
I hope this helps.
btw-I also have bobs advancer and I have stock jets/airbox/pipe and have not noticed any difficulty starting. I'm in sunny SoCal though so that might have something to do with it....
:cheers:
I ride an 01 and haven't noticed any problems starting with the advancer... did you rejet before you did the advancer?
I don't think Pab's numbers are correct- You'll want a #20 bleed type pilot. I have a part number at home and can post tonight. When you rejetted, did you take the pilot out and look at it? It's a good idea- that way you know if they are giving you a wrong part or you can help identify it in a catalog.
My suzuki dealer didn't have the pilot jets- however the Yamaha dealer down the street did (he had several... They may be more common on Yamaha bikes).
