1987 Carb question
12/21/05 at 21:40:16
 
I understand that the main jet on an 87 is 155, if I want to run a pod filter and a very low restrictive muffler, do I need to change anything? Don't want backfires or burned valves.
Thanks for the help

You know I think the "book" would say may one size - 157.5 - but seems to me you really should just throttle/chop and read the plug after you make the changes - do the plug door mod - or leave the head chrome cover off until you done - couple of new $1.50 Champion plugs

the part number was a EBC md3017LS - can remember which of these parts houses I ordered it from - normally just check on several - I see if I can find which one it was - a word of caution - if you going to ride a lot it does matter but if the bike is going to sit a lot - this rotor seems to flash rust fairly quickly at least around a salt water environment - works a fair bit better than stock - next up grade is a stainless brake line that is waiting to go on.

How about the white spacer mod, is it required on an 87?
Thanks
