Good.  I record mine with a Sony Voice recorder in wav. format too.

I've been away for a week and am just catching up with posts.  In reading this thread, it seems to me like we need a definitive topic about exhausts, white spacer, needle, and jetting options.  A bit of a primer if you will.  We get lots of newbies asking questions about one or all of these and it would be great to have a topic to use as reference.  Anyone want to take a stab at it?  

I would but I know nothing about it yet other than what I've read...  I was thinking we could list the various options, along with descriptions, costs, thoughts, helpful hints.  Something like:

Description of Stock Exhaust Setup: Commentary on what it is (components); why its lean etc...

Modifications: Commentary on various modifications that can be made to stock exhaust, followed by detailed info on each.

• Idle screw-- directions on what to do and why it matters
• White spacer -- directions on what to do and why it matters
• Needle -- directions on what to do and why it matters

Jetting options:Commentary on reasons to change jetting, followed by details on each jetting option

• Mikuni jets -- cheapest option; comes in x,y,z sizes; how to install
• Dynojet -- easy to use but expensive; not worth the cost unless...; list sizes; explain why different than nMikuni sizes
• Dial-a-jet -- commentary

Exhaust Options (listed in order of approx cost):
Commentary on reasons to change exhaust, followed by details on each exhaust option

• MAC -- approx $xx; Canadian-made; least expensive option; some concerns around longevity; sounds like...
• Jardine -- ....
• SuperTrapp -- ...
• Raask -- ...

What do you think?  Anyone willing to tackle it?  If not, I will take a stab at compiling the info already on the board but you guys will have to correct it and promise not to laugh.  

If you want me to do it, let me know if anything should be added to the lists above.

In the privacy of your own home, if you wish

Actually, the MAC factory is in California.  There are separate Canadian and US distributorships on the web.

Looking in my jet box from my dynojet days I find there is a 155 mainjet, I've been lead to believe there should be a 154 or a 156  ???

You just had to, didn't you?

Just when it was all sorted out, you have make me confused again.  Maybe that's a jet that you replaced in your "Dynojet days".

No locking them does not keep them up. It just keeps you from further posting on them. There is a "Stick thread option" that does that though in most Bulletin software.

The simplest way is to open up another forum such as "Archive", "FAQ" or even titled "Historic" and move threads that contain a lot of detail there and leave them open.

But just limit them to a single subject and only a few of them. That way they stay on the radar screen. Within this Board there is an option to create such a forum. And then the Admin would move them there. A choice selection of them. Thats the easiest way to do it. And we would have to enlist John to do it.  And he would then have to move any threads that crop up there back over to here to keep it clean and tidy and only those select threads.

Or you can change forum permissions to veiw only that forum. No one could add to them.

Several simple ways to do that within the Software. And with Admin powers.
