I' going to check the main jet size soon...

Another question? Do I only change main jet and put half spacer or I have to change other things of the carburator?
Do the bike run well if I don't change air filter? Here is very difficult to find a K&N for the Savage...

I read many posts of people who don't upgrade to a K&N because dirt particles can go trought it... what can I do to upgrade air flow withot changing OEM filter?

Thaks for all friends!!!

That's it. You also need to remove the little cap over the slow mixture screw so you can adjust that richer.

Yes it will run very well without a K&N.

You can remove the factory snorkel. This will give you more airflow. If you want more flow drill some holes in your filter housing (outside the filter Wink

)

I have a 125 main jet on my '00, but they don't have any 152.5. I'm going to find this tomorrow to a motorbike parts dealer here in Valencia.

The US and Canada Savages here are increasing their main jet 3 sizes for the Sportster muffler. Example: 145 -> 152.5

If you really have a 125 (and not a 145), you don't want to go all the way to 152.5.

FYI jet sizes run in 2.5 increments.

I'm looking to change needle, needle jet and piloto jet to the '00 USA model. I take the references in a post in technical corner. But first of all I'll try with a 132.5 main jet.

i did the h.d. muff on my 06.had the muff shop me an adaptor 1.75 i.d. 10 deg kick 1.75 o.d had to slit the head pipe end of the adapter added hi temp permatex and it works fine..tried the muff without the kick out and my brake lever was gettin too sooty..
bought and installed the dynojet kit..with this kit the white spacer is left stock,and the neddle is replaced with an adjustable one, used the next to the largest jet provided ,there numbers and jet style are different than stock.drill bit and screw is provided for mix screw cap, i had done this mod already using a framing screw for metal studs worked great...

Bryner, you're doing fine understanding the inglés.

Seems Steve530 was right all along. The old HD dealer is still in business as an agent for Hyosung. The cast-off parts bin yielded a pair of Dyna mufflers, a Sportster pipe and a pair of slash-cut shorties. He wanted 100€ ($120) for one Dyna because, and I quote, "I make 30€ a time renting out this pipe to HD owners putting their bikes through the annual ITV vehicle test!" So I gave him 20€ for the shorties and we'll see what happens.

I just took the header pipe and muffler off and I am heading to the muffler shop for an adapter. I have been waiting on a rainy day to do this project.

I need two new hose clamps to install the Chrome cover. I'll get those when I pick up the boys from school in a little while.

I should've just went that way to begin with rather than the Sportster muff. Oh well, guess ya live and learn... Just managed to make the old lady proud of me for wasting money on the Sportster muffler!
