Carb Rejetted.....F---- A!!!!
02/06/07 at 15:39:59

Well the rejet is a success!

Although the shop ordered the wrong K&N Filter (we'll have that on Friday) the bike is now PHENOMENAL!

Wifey has had her up to 65 in a stock configuration and she said the bike was gasping a little bit. But after the rejet WOW!
She was easily doing 70 on the highway and said that the bike was ready for more!

What a great bike!

BTW,

Our bike shop said that she could now easily do a wheelie.....I wonder how they know! Grin

I bought a K&N slip in for mine. I thought I would faint when they told me the price. Was yours about $55.00?

I don't think I have mine tuned right, & I think there may be a small vac leak between carb & tank, & possible a very small leah in the pet cokk, cuz it idles higher at times & lower, hard to figure, I'll mess with it more. I have a few main jets to try. & I intend to get a 55pilot. Any way, even without having it all the way tuned, it sometimes lifts the front when I am not trying. I Like that a lot. Hoping it gets better when I mess with it more..

Either way you can clean and reuse them. Good deal. Last time I checked I found $25+ for the OEM.

My K&N showed up with a divot out of the seal that rides on the airbox. Wadda bummer. Took it back today. No receipt, the guys at the shop just took it & said I will have another one soon, maybe tomorrow. I'll bet that doesn't happen often,no idea how they snagged & ripped that seal lip. Just glad the guys at that shop are cool.

BRI You landed a hekkuva good deal! You should be grinnin!

Greg, Yea, I have 14,000 miles on the stock filter & I've cleaned it enough it's gettin ragged. The K&N is sposed to be good for tons O miles. It's abetter deal than replaceable filters, just costs a bit up front. I was just wondering if I got gigged.

Yep, I'm pretty sure it's the extra air flow offered by the cone that's leaning it out. Just wanted to know if 1, 2, or 3 jet size jumps was normal after switching from stock filter.

Did I mention that i am pretty sure the PO never shnged the filter. So, i was rich just from the low flow through that filter.

I would suggest just one. Your flow has only improved to the maximum possible at the intake.

55.00? Errrr when it came in it was only $22.00 Roll Eyes

But they originally quoted 55.00 for the wrong model of K&N Suzuki 650. I too nearly choked when they told me 55.00 and was smiling when I only had to shell out 22.00.
