Thanks, if I did get the cheap slip-on do you think I’d HAVE to rejet my bike so it didn’t run too lean or do you think I’d be fine?

You don't HAVE to, but it would be helpful as these bikes are lean from the factory. Since you will have a bit of budget let from your $50 after the slip on, perhaps a few shims on your carb needles will richen it up a bit for you along with other benefits.

Grand total for 4 shims (small washers)... $0.36

The factory jetting on a newgen bike is both too lean AND too rich. Lean in low/mid-range and rich in high-end. Easiest to address each range individually:

1. idle & low-end - unscrew pilot-screws 1/4-1/2 turn more than factory setting

2. midrange - shim needles 1-4mm, 1mm at a time. This is the variable depending upon which slip-on you get.

3. high-end - get smaller main jet, two sizes down if you have factory exhaust. One size down with aftermarket exhaust

I've got 20% more high-end power than stock on my 2008. AFR is spot-on at 13.5:1 for maximum power in high-end (compared to stock 11.5-12.0:1). To do that, I went down to slightly smaller main jet with Tyga full-exhaust. Or just leave factory main-jet alone for 13.0:1 AFR in high-end. This is real tried and true mods done by pretty much all racers on newgens. I can dig out dyno-charts and magazine-articles that showed this is path to enlightenment.


EDIT - > REFERENCES
Racing on the Cheap - scroll down to "The Nuts and Bolts" section, note: "close to perfect" is with full AreaP exhaust and factory jetting.
Racing Order - Dyno testing
Dyno testing - lean mid-range only - thinned needle to correct.

How about some rear spools? I have about 4 different sets in different colours. Kinda like earrings!

Rowan & Martin had a whole family of Farkles but they might take offense at being called cheap.

Thanks for the detail, I’ll have to do a little bit more research before I tackle the carbs.

Good idea, maybe I’ll paint mine! Off topic of farkles but I’m probably going to be making my own rear stand, anyone want to see the processe?

The best fifty buck farkle you can buy is a small tank bag such as one of the Joe Rocket Manta models.

I think I’m going to buy some green metallic spray paint and paint my clutch and brake levers. Anything else a should paint, that wouldn’t look stupid?
