justin_o_guy2 Serious Thumper Offline What happened? Posts: 55279 East Texas, 1/2 dallas/la.	Re: Jetting question Reply #17 - 11/23/16 at 01:01:28 I broke 5,000 miles yesterday, changed oil today. Drained the puke tube, saw gas, pulled the vacuum line, a few drops hit the starter, pulled the fuel line off the carb, steady drip, drip, drip... I'll pop the tank, run the valves, and stick the Raptor in..

JOG Jetting : I had a 160 main jet in mine once --- it ran like a different bike - but - I couldn't stand 38 mpg ...

Who you calling Phlatlander, Boy?
I'll have you know that with just shy of another 5,000 feet I'd be able to say I live in a Mile High city..

We are a whopping 371 feet higher than the sand in Galveston..
The Dyna is a super deep blue where I can start seeing it as it emerges from under the heat shield.
I get 50 mpg, and I don't ride to maximize the mileage.
The spark plug looked like the one labeled
Normal,,
My picture has never been next to that label..

I'm curious to see how much different it runs with a Raptor in place of a leaking OEM petcock.

The vacuum line drizzled a few drops, no idea how much fuel was running through it when it had vacuum on it.

I'm in between the Smokies on one side and the Missippi River flat lands on the other. At 1100ft alt.

No , it didn't smoke ... it just ran like a wild dog with a shot-gun wielding farmer hot on its tail ! Grin

You've heard the saying "Ya gota dump some fuel in there if ya want Horse-Power ! Well , there is truth to that.

I'm OK with 55-60 mpg if I can get it ,but I don't want to slow down going up-hill to get it. Like on a 250 Rebel or the like. Wink

Re: Jetting question Reply #24 - 11/23/16 at 22:57:02 I wouldn't be unhappy with lower MPG if it would make sub six second zero to sixty times and pull hard up to 90, The COST of the gas would not be a problem. Stopping to Get gas every eighty miles or so would sukkk..

Posts: 3767 Tennessee Gender:	Re: Jetting question Reply #28 - 11/24/16 at 20:35:27 Shouldn't be too much of a hassle to correct but I've got enough to do usually. I just pull the choke out 1 notch when it's really cold outside. That seems to take care of the problem. As is, it doesn't surge or anything but it just "feels" lean. I can tell a difference between summer and winter.

To have the ability to change the fuel mixture while your ridding would be sweet !
