Drill your own Jets! (pics)
06/20/07 at 11:33:15

We all saw MacGyver right? Well in that same spirit you can save the hassel (and $) of getting a new jets by doing it at home.

I always felt my bike was running a bit lean since I installed a free flowing exhaust even with the pilot screw 3 3/4 turns out. Now with a "new" 160 main jet the problem seems to be mostly gone Grin

After this simple mod the bike feels somehow less 2-stokey and more 4 stroke and really pulls like a tractor at high revs, quite a change. We'll see about the mileage.

Any thoughts?

Recently sold 97'savage (change of residence) - looking to buy another - just bought a temp, a great SR125 called 'methadone'

The thing is that you HAVE to be a bit creative when you live in the middle of nowhere in the 3rd world (beach house in Baja!) And only get to go to the states to check your PO box and do your banking every 6-8 weeks. http://www.ricardoponce.fotopic.net/p28821204.html

And no you can't go back once it is drilled out.

I used to like that place. From 32nd Street, take the trolley to San Ysidro and cross over to TJ. Hike to the bus station and grab a bus to Ensenada. Spend a day or weekend there and then head back to the ship.
