It's like a different bike!
06/26/14 at 16:19:26
I installed the Raptor petcock a few weeks ago, and I also had the white spacer mod done recently to improve the mid-range performance. I was glad to have these changes done, but I was a touch disappointed that I still had some hesitation issues. I took the bike in to a local mechanic today and had the stock pilot jet swapped out for a #50 pilot, and holy cats it's not even the same bike! No hesitation at all and great improvements in performance. I'm real happy with the results. I swear I've gained 10-15 mph at the top end (well, maybe it just feels like 10-15 mph). Thanks again to this forum for leading me in the right direction. I'm not mechanically inclined, but at least I can tell the mechanic what the good folks at "suzukisavage.com" are recommending. I may not sound smart to them, but you guys sure do! Thanks again everyone!
By the way, I'm heading out on a road trip from Brighton Ontario to visit my brother and his clan northwest of Thunder Bay Ontario in July. Round trip will be about 2,200 miles. Should be a hoot! Can't wait to get going. This little Thumper is such a monster - it'll eat up those miles in no time. I'll just have to manage my gas. Although there's spectacular scenery, some parts of highway # 17 north of Lake Superior are lonely with no gas stations for many many miles. This week I ordered a 2 litre gas bottle on-line that will fit nicely into my saddlebag, just in case I stretch the tank too far. Northern Ontario here I come!

YEEEHHHAAAAA! Yep, those jets can turn the bike into a jet! I couldn't believe the difference when I did the carb mods and Dyna muffler. I'm hoping to take an extended trip some day (maybe fall... it's about 110 here now until late September). Ride safe, post pictures!

Replacing the stock unit with something that flows better will make a MARKED difference and really enhance the jetting/tuning changes.
You WILL be PLEASED with the result.
