New exhaust, new jets too?
07/14/08 at 12:53:29
 
I have a screamin' eagle exhaust on it's way and I'm wondering if I need to get new jetsets too or leave it stock and just mess with the idle screw behind the brass plug?

I would go ahead and get the jets, but wait until you have adjusted the pilot/air screw. That way if the screw works, you have the jets on hand for further mods, and if it doesn't work, you don't have to wait until they arrive.

What year is your bike.  It matters....... the '86 & '87 were less "leaned"  out.

Agree, buy the set Lancer sells in the Marketplace.  

On my '01, my Aftermarket Screaming Eagle "clone" required me to put in a 152.5 main jet.  I'm running stock air cleaner.

BUY the jets!!!    Putting on a SE muffler will cause an already lean bike to be even leaner still.  Too lean means HEAT.  Heat in an air cooled engine is a bad thing.......

Get the JETSET for sure. I have a pipe in the garage begging me to mount it, but "not yet" I tell it. Not until I get the jets from LANCER1. If you open up the backside(pipe) without lube(more fuel), she gets really hot(hot). Thats not good at all for an air cooled engine.  Cheesy
