Gravel road eh? No need for a sidearm there. JUST ROOST HIM!! The more aggressive the knobs on the back tire, the better the roost. Jeff--that which is behind me, eating my dust, does not concern me

Mark, Do the DynaJet main jet numbers (sizes) exactly corresspond to the stock Keihin jet sizes? In all the DynaJet posts, it appears that most are using leaner Dynajet main jets (i.e. smaller numbers) than the stock KLR main jet size. I'm so confused. Professor A9 Federal Way, Wa.

which the assumption that an aftermarket exhaust and a K&N filter makes the engine a real breather. So far, after playing around for a year, I currently feel that my leaner setup works best for my Tengai: a Trapp IDS with 18 discs, K&N, backfire screen pulled, 140 main DynaJet with the needle way down in the collar with the E-clip second from the top. I'm consistently getting 44.7 +/- 0.2 mpg in a hard mix of highway and city driving. ------------------------ Kurt Simpson wrote:

to 12 (just for experiments sake)...now runs even and pulls hard throughout the range...but not quiet as much gusty as with the 145 and 8 discs...I decreased the pilot jet to 13/4 and am now getting a bunch of "popping" on deacceleration. The bike starts w/o fuel enricher so I suspect the needle is very aggressive even though it is in the middle notch. I have a dial-a-jet and that is probably the next step as you have to adjust the main on the leans side.
