jetting and ids2 revisited
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2000 9:06 pm
so after my foot surgery, i limped around in the shed long enough to
put the stage 2 bits in the carb (#150 main jet instead of #140 and
circlip on position 3 instead of 4), and i went with 10 discs in the
muffler. This feels pretty darn good so far. i have no hesitation or
stumbling or knocking of any kind, anywhere, under any conditions,
plus the bike pretty much goes and stuff. i accidentally wheelied
even
(first time my front wheel has been off the ground). there is a
pretty
significant low-end punch now, from right around 2000 rpm in 2nd the
bike pulls pretty hard, whereas before it used to have to be in
2500-3000 range to not be cranky when i gassed it going uphill.
definitelly more midrange and probably some high end too. the bike
certainly feels smoother and better at 5000-6000 rpm, but maybe
that's
my imagination.
i think i know why people get crappy gas mileage after jetting their
klrs. it's just so fan to yank on the throttle all the time. i find
myself slowing down randomly, just so i can crank it open again.
woohoo!
