the correct solution is to put in the correct jets for the air flow your setup creates.

So, to anyone running a K&N R-0990, with stock exhaust, what size jets are you using?

"the right jet" depends entirely on your current situation with the bike. it changes. if you want optimal jetting then you need to figure it out for yourself. thats why jet kits come with multiple jets. because its not always the same.

I guess my point here is trying to find answers to these questions are not easy, as I'm sure anyone who had done this knows. But every thread about carbs is like groundhog day around here. Its always try cleaning the carbs, seafoam, rejet. Even the ninja wiki offers info on how to do it, but only goes on to 112 main jets for K&Ns or pods for the article on rejetting. And I don't know about the OP, but shelling out $100+ on a jet kit is not always a viable option. Just a ballpark answer would do, like you may need to go up to 122 mains. After buying two sets of jets, and not getting any tangible results, I decided that, since I can't wait another week to get the next size up, why don't I tackle the problem in reverse, so instead of increasing the fuel, decrease the air. That gave results, and ones that seemed worth sharing, since we both had nearly identical symptoms and failed solutions.

don't get me wrong. its a good troubleshooting tool. but that's all it is. these engines have a very small range for jetting. jetsrus.com, buy the cheap jets for what you need based on where you need to go from your current jets. you can do plug checks and other troubleshooting methods like choking it (you are choking it by restricting the airflow) or even using the fuel enricher circuit ('the choke') to see how it effects the mix. but like i said, those are just tools for troubleshooting. you need to have correct pilot and main jets with the correct needle transition.
when people have the problem of incorrect fuel mix, they blame this and that but the fact is carbs are simple, they work very simply, and when they are setup wrong they dont work. they are responsible for the fuel mix, so if everything is how it should be (in other words nothing is falling off and you are using the components you want to use, ie- air filter, exhaust, etc) and the mix is off, then guess what, your jets are wrong.

I had my intake lid cut open, and a full system running well (a little rich at the top end, but it pulled hard so I was happy) with 108's and 3 washers on the needles. with a stock exhaust and pod filter, I would try 108's and 110's, likely with 2 or 3 washers on the needles. That shouldn't take long too get jetted, especially without the airbox. |
