Came home for lunch to find my package just waiting for me to open. The weekend can't come fast enough!!!

Alex · May 19th, 2014, 02:16 PM

Haven't forgotten about you all; hoped to film this Sunday night but time got short before the kidlets were asleep. I imagine this just raises the suspense.

No worries from my standpoint. The suspense isn't killing me as much as it may with the others.. Good luck to all participants!

JohnnyBravo · May 19th, 2014, 06:55 PM

So if the suspense kills everyone else; I win? I can wait a long while

I'm very impressed with my exhaust! The suspense of waiting to pick up a tuner and get it all put together may make me sick :/

Very pleased with my system as well. Will have to fiddle with the jets/carbs a little more, as this is my first venture into carburetors. Everything seems pretty good so far though.

Yea, I got a few extra parts, an some little things to do, then add a tuner to the package an put it all together! It looks amazing though! An the weight savings, an extra horses won't hurt! Wish mine was easy as a jet kit an some tinkering, oh well fuel injection is pretty swell.

Olie · May 19th, 2014, 08:53 PM

I love the new exhaust and carb set up. Of course more fine tuning is in order but it's runs and sounds great!

JohnnyBravo · May 20th, 2014, 07:21 PM

I look about like my profile pic every time someone asks if my exhaust is on yet. Santy claws needs to come over

Daniel_Malloy · May 20th, 2014, 08:56 PM

... I did the responsible thing and told myself I cannot install my exhaust until I replace both CV axles and all front ball joints on my car first... Needless to say the suspense is killing me!!! And the sucky part is I have to stare at the beautiful exhaust every time I walk out the garage, Lol.

Any news?

rasta · May 21st, 2014, 03:35 PM

Which of the DIYs is best for rejetting carbs? There's so many of 'em, I'm not sure which to use

allanoue · May 21st, 2014, 05:22 PM

does kkim have one?

step 1: create a new gas tank that lets you access the carbs easily with the tank off, put a fan in front of the bike pointing at the radiator. turn the fan on high.

step 2: warm the bike up. check where the idle is and make a mental note. with the bike running and the tank off you should be able to access the mix screws on the carbs. with the bike running, turn each screw a quarter turn one direction. did the idle go up or down? if it went up, keep turning in that direction until the idle reaches the highest. if it went down, turn the screw in the other direction. if you get to either end of the mix screw (wont go in any more, wont go out anymore), make a paper note about which way, and what pilot screw you were in.

step 3: try another pilot jet. pick a direction, its safer to go richer instead of leaner first. try that jet, repeat step 2 with that pilot jet. dont touch the idle nob this entire time or you will throw off your results. can you get it to idle higher with that pilot jet? then that pilot jet is better. keep going that direction until it stops getting better. did it get worse with that pilot jet? go the other direction. pick the jet that gave the highest idle after tuning the mix screw for that jet. if your idle is getting too high (higher than 4k rpm) you can start turning it down, just remember that all the numbers will be skewed. remember to take that into consideration when making and reading your notes.

step 4: after you have chosen the correct pilot jet, adjust your idle nob down to 1500rpm.

---------

step 5: put in the largest main jet you have.

step 6: put the tank on, get the bike ready to ride, warm it up and take it for a ride. while you ride make mental notes about the way it performs with wide open throttle at max rpm in a specific gear. always use the same gear. use a higher gear. if you have an area where you can take it to redline in 5th or 6th gear, thats ideal because you will notice the difference in power the most. just do it where you wont get a ticket (where its legal and you arent going to die) take a few passes to be sure its consistent. dont worry if it struggles at mid-range rpm or half throttle at this point only focus on wide open max rpm power here.

step 7: when you get back to the garage, write down what you thought of the power with that jet on paper. put in a smaller jet and try step 6 again. continue until the top end stops getting better or if it starts getting worse. pick the jet that felt the best. (most power) if two jets feel the same, pick the larger of the two.

---------

step 8: if there is any stuttering, clunkyness or roughness during an rpm climb from wide open throttle through the rpm range of 5 to 9k rpm, your fuel curve isnt right. the needle height adjusts the needle curve. if it feels jittery like the engine wants to cut out usually that means its too rich, so drop the needle down. feeling lean is a little bit harder, just doesnt have as much power but not as clunky as a rich condition

doing plug checks will tell you if you are lean or rich at any time.

Anybody else have clearance issues? My can pushes up against the swingarm...there's not even close to enough room...

csmith12 · May 26th, 2014, 05:26 PM

What side do you have the band on?

Here is mine from a year or so ago.

Hi Wes, If you would like to PM or contact me at sales@areapnolimits.com, I'll be happy to help you. Normally on the 250 standard system, it's from simply having the body clamp on backwards, which puts the "offset" closer to the swingarm. Very easy to remedy and make adjustments. Simply send me a pic and we'll get you dialed.

Thanks Kerry!

@rasta I called it a "band", Kerry calls it a body clamp so let's go with him.

But we are both referring to the same thing.

Thanks for the offer Kerry. I'm actually going to revert back to the original pipes for the time being, but once I get back to installing the Area P, I'll definitely reach out

JohnnyBravo · May 27th, 2014, 07:38 PM

I don't think my plan of the suspense killing off the competition is workin

dave42 · May 28th, 2014, 04:25 PM

Or has it....

Alex · May 28th, 2014, 08:19 PM

Daniel_Malloy · May 31st, 2014, 07:28 PM

My exhaust is now officially installed! I removed the stock airbox and installed the K&N pod filter that fits our bikes (think 0990?), removed the kleen air system and last but not least rejetted the bike. Started with the largest main, 110, will work from there but it is noticeably better than a stock bike now... Very pleased!

Alex · June 1st, 2014, 08:43 PM

Alright party people; the little monsters were in a good mood tonight, and we had a successful drawing. With some help from the better half, this was a "Frozen-themed-musical-chairs-with-plates" event. Traditional rules. Here's the first video....
