maybe I can help- I was where you are a week ago. I have a 1996 and put a jardine on it. mine was already stock at 3 turns out on the mixture screw and that turned out to be ok once I jetted it according to lancers information. Im progressing. I have right now the Jardine, K&n filter slip in, and a 152.5 main jet and a stock pilot and my bike has a whole new power range 100% inprovement on the low end and mi range and only backfires when I encourage it to by driving it like a sportster. lol I get the occasional downshift at high rpm pop and once in a while when im buried into the throttle and shift hard I get a cool to me snap backfire.

So as all the wise ones here told me and what worked on basically your exact bike for me was jardine,k&n, 152.5 main and stock pilot jet. start there as wise Lancer told me and he was right. hope this helps one noob to another in similiar spot.

Thanks Joey that gives me a great place to start.They may have already done the jetting I just dont know until I take the carb a part to find out for sure.

Thanks Justin I will as soon as I get time. im working a full time and part time job.Got the part time job so the wife couldnt tell me no on a bike cause that is MY money and she still gets OUR money
