It was suggested I order jets from Sudco by someone on here. I called them and they only sell large quantities, so they gave me their dealer Motorcyclecarbs.com . I ordered a CGK needle, 5 pilot jets and 2 main jets to complete my collection to properly tune. I have been waiting almost 5 weeks now. They never e-mailed me to let me know what is going on, even though they say the do. I e-mailed them and got a reply saying the needle and pilot jets were on backorder and i should expect them in 2 weeks. That was 3 weeks ago and they still haven't shipped. I would avoid these guys.
The reeds leaned the pilot jet a little to help my fat existing jet and i dropped one main jet size while i had it apart. Since beginning this carb tuning quest, I have been taking apart my bike and finding out what it has had done to it. The answer to that is astonishing... absolutely NOTHING. Everything about the bike has been stock ie jets, sprockets,pipe. I must admit i was shocked to find the stock reeds still inside, it's an 89!
This brings me to my question/point There really are people who buy bikes and do nothing but ride them
What gives? Who wouldn't want to properly tune their machine to have it running it's best? I wonder if the bike had original gas/oil in it lol I guess i should be thinking about getting a new piston/rings now.
