Therein lies your problem Freddie, you constantly tout that rejetting is not necessary. After reading this, I now know why. You never got a chance on any of your roads to reach full rpm! you put around town, and in that case never lifted the needle high enough to exceed the main jet delivery.Fred wrote:That what they may say to cover them selves from unsatisfied customers.hillsy wrote:On the 1500's if you cut out the top of the filter or replace with a GMan open K&N you have to re-jet both main and pilots.
Re jetting is not easy its not a case of this bike uses this It just does not work like that. Do the Mod and see what you got.
You can not acheive full throttle by twisting the grip--that would be a cable operated slide. The CV carb needs full depression and that builds up from engine demand. You would need full throttle and almost full RPM I most certainly can not achieve that on any roads around here.
Here in the states we can actually get the slides lifted to the max, and jump up a size on the main jets.
Have you ever tuned a LC? Nobody makes them bikes go faster than GMan.
And I have never heard of anyone that was unsatisfied after having GMan work their carbs.
BTW, a 800 will run out of fuel delivery long before you hit anywhere near top rpm or redline.
The 1400 limits that top rpm.
