how's the throttle response with a lunchbox?

I don't notice anything bad with mine. It works great for me and my style of riding. It pulls nicely from low RPMs too.

I like the noise it makes too

so this is just some generic breather filter?

yurp

Alpha... What Jet configuration do you have?

Mine's for an '04, so it's only applicable for F models (carbs were changed from the '01-'03 models), but I'm running 22.5 pilots, 65 mid mains, 137.5 mains, with the air/fuel screw 3.5 turns out. For yours, refer to the jetting descriptions in the FAQ and check your plugs to make sure everything is okay.

cool thanks alpha... I didn't think to check which model you had 

According to the Matrix, I should have 40 pilots and 150 mains - I picked up the 40's today and I'm going to install them tomorrow, I'm gonna order the 150's and install them when I get my Lunchbox and my Can.

Errr, dunno about the 150s... stock is like, 122.5 or 125, so 150 would be TEN sizes up. I bumped mine only THREE sizes. Check your plugs after that and make sure you aren't fouling plugs.

As per Srinath's Rejet Matrix

Stage 3 jetting I should use 150's...

Yeah... I don't agree with that. I am one of the few that disagree with the "guru". Like I said, just check your plugs and make sure everything is okay.

Hmm....

I remember seeing somewhere about running the engine at a certain RPM and then shutting off the engine and checking the plugs to see wether you are running LEAN or RICH.

I don't recall where I saw this (as I kick myself in the ass for not bookmarking it  )
Have any suggestions on finding out how my main jets are performing RPM range wise?

Hold it at 8k and above for a while, then shut off the engine and check the plugs. With yours though, since it's only got a pilot and a main... I dunno. 8K is a definite main jet area.

Thanks!  I'll give that a try when I get my bike setup!

Didn't you decide yours was still a bit lean after that first dyno run? Or did you change it since then?

Yeah, when I dynoed it and saw it was lean I was running 20/65/135. Now it's 22.5/65/137.5

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you need to have the engine under load to do that. Problem being that without load she will rev up to 8k with very little throttle input, meaning that the slider is still way down and you are in the area most influenced by the needle.

Yeah, I meant holding it at 8k in 1st gear or so (so you don't speed ) I should have clarified, my bad.

If  you're talking about the K&N RU-(somethingsomething) then...  Well, it is louder.  But who doesn't like some noise?

I think it's just that it's sitting right underneath you.  I had a buddy watch me drag race after I installed it and afterwards I said "didn't it sound cool?!?!?" and he just looked at me...  Like... "I couldn't hear a thing dude".

It's louder but I don't think it's offensive or anything

So I pumped this old thread but I want to know, is that true? when you put a KandN lunchbox you are the only one who can ear that's is much more louder?


Also I would like to know, if you are reving but while the bike is not moving (you are in neutral) is the sounde louder or not?

Its lousedt to you yes, and its loudest when you're sitting still.
Start moving and all the other wind noise drowns it out. Besides you would run a pipe with it and that will be plenty loud.
Cool.
Buddha.
