i dont wanna go buy kits because they cost so much... where can i get jets??? or needles?? and exactly how do you do diy jet mod?? sorry if im asking a question that was asked 100 times... oh yea... i have decided to not get the pod... but just replace it with filter element... but i have vance and hines exhaust... what number jet's are best for my mods... pilot and main... and if i put on the exhaust and not jet the bike... what would happen???

Mikuni jets are available from many places like bike bandit, or cycle gear or many local bike stores. 40 pilots and 127.5 mians for a airbox K&N and pipe. Maybe 125 if you want to put the restrictor in. Haven't tried it so I dunno. #2 Washers are from Lowes... get them in brass or stainless or aluminum... not steel. I'd try 2 washers under each needle and set air screw to 3 turns out as a starting point.
Cool.

Does the V&H full exhaust affect the jetting?  I've already gone to K&N drop in with 40/127.5.  I'm thinking about doing the full eventually but I'm not sure if I'd need to do a rejet.

:dunno:

Slip on to full system is no difference... 127.5 for either, 127.5 would have felt very rich if you had stock pipe... so I guess you have a slip on. Else... check the floats or some like that... somehitng is wrong.
Cool.
