1/4" ratcheting handle
I ordered the Milwaukee Offset Drive Adapter. It arrived today. However, it didn't come with a 1/4" ratcheting handle. Maybe that's not a surprise. I googled for a "ratcheting handle" (the name the OP used for it) but cannot seem to find one. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords or I'm just plain retarded but where do I order one of these?

so if I shim the carb needles on my bike with 1-2 #4 washers and remove the snorkel, I will most definitely need to access my idle screws and adjust them accordingly?

Can someone describe in slightly more detail how to determine the correct turns out? Like how do you determine if the idle speed is at a dropping point because I've been experimenting with 1/4 turn increments but I dont think I got it right.
Also, the screws are set at different settings for right/left. Why is that and should I keep that difference or make them the same? Finally, somewhere in another forum somebody said that keeping the mixture screws the same changed the exhaust output temperature and made one side super hot vs the other. |

If you change the needles (keeping the factory 98 main jets) to DynoJet and install the clips as detailed in the DJ instructions, you can get a 99% success rate simply by gently turning both screws clockwise (in), until they stop turning. Don't force the screws more after they stop. Then, simply back the screws out 1/2 turn at a time, until you reach 2 1/2 turns on both. As far as changing the exhaust output temperature on one side, I think my BS meter may have just gone off the scale. Maybe it changed the exhaust input temperature. I would love to see how that person determined that. |

Performance automotive tuners have used infrared thermometers for years to dial in the idle mixture. If one exhaust header is hotter than the other, your settings are not where they should be. The method of blipping the throttle does get you close, but synchronizing the exhaust temperatures helps you nail it.

So after changing the main jets and shimming the needles, my bike wont stay of when I take off the choke off. So I'm guess, based off what I've read, that I need to adjust the idle mixture screw. What I don't know is which way to turn the screw... any help appreciated!

Low throttle issues
Hey guys, I know haven't yet introduced myself to the community (sorry), but I have an issue I was wondering some of you might have run into and solved. I have recently rejetted my 250r with dynojets stage 3 kit using dj112 mainjets and the the needle with the eclip on the 3rd position from the top with 2 washers above it. I have synced my carbs using the glass bottle technique found on this site. But my persisting problem is my throttle response from 1/8-1/4 throttle is ridiculously rich (slowly flooding the engine and stalling, or, if i manage to save it, shooting jets of fire rich.. lol). I've tried adjusting the idle mixture screws on my own and I have got it to a point where I can pass the 1/4 throttle flooding and get to WOT (which runs fine), but in real life situations this means I am dropping the clutch at 7k+, I can not cruise, have trouble turning, and have stalled in a intersection.. I stopped trying to ride it until I'm sure this problem is fixed. When the carb was off, a friend of mine played with the idle adjustment knob and I have no clue how far it should be pushing the throttle for the idle mixture adjustment (if this has an affect at all). Thank you for reading, let me know what you think and whether it is possible to fix this myself, or if I should bring it to a professional (they want loads of money).

@SirVexSmasher :
I take it you are running pod filters? what size pilot jets are you running? DIY: Getting the jets just right, step-by-step http://www.factorypro.com/tech_tunin...m_engines.html

Pod filters are extremely difficult to tune. I adjusted the needle height at least 10 times before I got it as good as it gets. I'm not a fan of pod filters, they are garbage
So mess around with them until its rideable

if your goal is power, put the airbox back in without the snorkel- put a high flow filter in, get a bigger set of headers. 112 seems very high. if your goal is to have pod filters... because... you, uh, like the look?? then... maybe put a bigger pilot then drop the needle down a clip or two.
nothing wrong with only using WOT though.

The screw head recess is thicker. A 5/32 should also fit IIRC, but both the 5/32 and 7/32 thickness is much thinner. Just esure you press the base of Milwaukee with your finger tips to keep the bit pressed.
The feeling will be that of tightening/loosening a spring loaded screw.

I pulled the caps off but didn't adjust the screws yet. I only got to ride it for 10 min after shimming the needles, and it seems to be idling fine. Going to ride it a few days and see how she responds. But so far i'm just blown away.

I used 2 number 4 washers on each needle removed snorkel installed slip in k&n air filter and musarri exhaust. I found it starts Better and low end response is instant now. I have not needed to adjust screws yet. Everything seems good. Will ride a few more days as is and adjust if needed.
Good luck tomorrow. ... if you have someone to help you it goes so much smoother. |
