Default jetting question.

hey guys i recently put a yoshi rs3 bolt on, on my bike. and i wanted to get a k&n filter, but i read i need a power comander. i checked the website but they dont have them for my 2000 zx6r, now i gues i would have to rejet right? im not really in to the top seed or racing so thats about as far as my mods will go, but i dont want to lean out my engine. also i went to a local bike shop and they said it would be 140 for jets plus 120 for labor does that sound right? my choice is the kn but what about the uni filters has anyone tried them, any good? the guy asked me if i wanted the replacement uni or if i wanted idividuals? what would be better? i know lots of questions but i just want to be informed


Also is anyone here from the socal area im near palm springs.

Not a bad price for the work but I would not trust the dealership to wash my bike. JMO.
If you have a good relationship and trust your dealer not bad. The actual work is not that hard I have done it about 10 times and if it is your first time it will take about 3 hours give or take depending on your mechanical ability. You can order a jet kit form here http://www.dynojet.com/jetkits.php
I would call them if your not 100% sure of what you are ordering.
I have dealt with them on several occasions and they have great support.
Below is I picture of my kid helping me install new jets. He may be better than me.

I like the K&N my self but I have always used them, The BMC also comes highly recommended and I believe post better numbers than the K&N.

Good luck, Mike

a replacement would be, well a replacement drop in filter like your stock one. individuals would be something like filter pods. when you run the pods your jetting is going to be way out of wack and will require you to make 3, 4, or 5 jetting changes to get it right. if your comfortable with doing it on your own, try sudco, i forget the web site but its a place in santa fe springs and they have every jet size for every carb imaginable, and by far the cheapest. dynojet would more then likley have a pack ready to go for your set up that will work.

Get the Dynojet jet kit for your bike. It's the best money you'll spend if you're rejetting. They've already done the research and have step by step instructions and tech support. The jet kit includes jets, needles, drill bits and recommended settings which are almost perfect. I HIGHLY recommend it.

By "rejetting" you will be getting jets with a larger opening so that it can flow more fuel at the same fuel pressure. The jets are in the carbs and feed the fuel into them. If you add some type of fabric hi-flow filter, then you will get more air and still the same amount of fuel, so without any adjustments to the carbs you will run leaner. By "rejetting" and putting larger jets, you are adding fuel and getting that air/fuel mixture back to the optimum 12 to 1 (+/-).
