Title: It's like a different bike! Post by Retired Rider on 06/26/14 at 16:19:26 I installed the Raptor petcock a few weeks ago, and I also had the white spacer mod done recently to improve the mid-range performance. I was glad to have these changes done, but I was a touch disappointed that I still had some hesitation issues. I took the bike in to a local mechanic today and had the stock pilot jet swapped out for a #50 pilot, and holy cats it's not even the same bike! No hesitation at all and great improvements in performance. I'm real happy with the results. I swear I've gained 10-15 mph at the top end (well, maybe it just feels like 10-15 mph). Thanks again to this forum for leading me in the right direction. I'm not mechanically inclined, but at least I can tell the mechanic what the good folks at "suzukisavage.com" are recommending. I may not sound smart to them, but you guys sure do! Thanks again everyone! By the way, I'm heading out on a road trip from Brighton Ontario to visit my brother and his clan northwest of Thunder Bay Ontario in July. Round trip will be about 2,200 miles. Should be a hoot! Can't wait to get going. This little Thumper is such a monster - it'll eat up those miles in no time. I'll just have to manage my gas. Although there's spectacular scenery, some parts of highway # 17 north of Lake Superior are lonely with no gas stations for many many miles. This week I ordered a 2 litre gas bottle on-line that will fit nicely into my saddlebag, just in case I stretch the tank too far. Northern Ontario here I come! |

Title: Re: It's like a different bike! Post by S-P on 06/26/14 at 18:43:45 YEEEHHHAAAAA! Yep, those jets can turn the bike into a jet! I couldn't believe the difference when I did the carb mods and Dyna muffler. I'm hoping to take an extended trip some day (maybe fall... it's about 110 here now until late September). Ride safe, post pictures! |
