Hi everyone, I was hoping I could run my scenario by you and see if someone could help me out here.
Removed the kleen air system
Removed airbox and installed K&N pod filter
Full area P Exhaust, and the dynojet kit from area P for the removed airbox and pod filter.
Bike currently has 108 jets in the main, I believe the pilot jets are stock size.
screws are three turns out
The bike runs like an absolute raped ape on the top end, and has fantastic pull on the lower end.
Here's my dilemna... When riding around (approx. 7-8k) for a few minutes, the big sounds like it begins to gurgle almost, shortly after the motor will start dying, and eventually shutoff. It only takes a minute of letting the bike rest and then it fires right back up. I was under the impression I was running rich, and the bike was just getting loaded up, however there wasn't much of that flooded gasoline smell. The other odd thing, was when I went to start it after it died it would fire up sooner if I put the choke on, so now I'm thinking maybe I'm running lean?
