Post by 650-rider on 02/23/06 at 10:44:52

I saw this kit listed onthe DynoJet site - is this the correct one to buy - I was looking for people's opinions?

Depends on what you're doing, and what you started out with. For a newer savage with aftermarket exhaust, high flow air filter, I would think not. Reason being that the range is from 138 to 146 (too small). if you're just running stock set-up, this may work to get rid of the backfires and give minor performance increases

You are much better off going donw to ANY dealership and just buying a hnadful of jets, then go to Ace hardware and buy a couple of numebr 3 washers. much cheaper. Bring the stock jets with you tot he dealership to match them.

Yeah, jets are roughly $3 - $4 apiece and the DJ kit is $50 and you'll still need a bigger main jet than they supply if you're upgrading your exhaust. Also, the jet numbering between DJ and Mikuni doesn't match. The Tech Ref forum has a conversion table, I believe. In my mind, the only nice thing about the DJ kit is getting a needle with multiple notches for adjusting it. However, you can do essentially the same thing by varying the spacer thickness. The DJ kit also has a coupon for a free dyno run though how you redeem it and who accepts it I don't know. In general, if you aren't going to take advantage of the dyno coupon, you can save about $40 by buying a few jets and doing your own spacer mod.
