can I install the pod filters and get away with not re-jetting for a little while?

 

Have you added an aftermarket exhaust system? If not, you won't gain much from the air pods anyway. But no, I wouldn't do it. Your bike will only run worse by not having the proper air fuel mixture.

 

well here is the deal, I CANNOT for the life of me get those airbox boots back onto the carbs, they were off when I bought the bike and found that tonight....thats why the bike wont idle right, too much air...WAAAY too much air...I seriously tried all night to do it, I have them both hose-clamped at one point then somewhere along the line they popped out....I just dont want the headache! no exhaust, just want them for the ease of maintenance.......

 

So both were hose clamped? what happened to the springs that keep them tightened?

 

the secret acording to the dealer you can get away with shiming the nedle and setting the air scroo th 3.5 tearns out but it is olny a matter of time befor you will do major intermal damage

 

I think Ill just take it over to the dealer on friday and pay them the $35 or whatever for them to re-attatch the airbox....I dont want to take the risk of messing up my engine from running lean and I wanna be riding so I dont want to wait for a jet-kit. the bike only had one spring-clamp on each side when I got it......those things dont do anything!

 

you doant need a jet kit its not worth the mony just increes your main jet by 1# size and your piolet by 2# sizes

 

so I could get away with not shimming my needles?

 

anyone know what the stock jet settings are?

 

what about a 102 or 105 MJ and a 38 PJ?
