MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP: The bike rips at WOT on the 108 mains. The mid-range is very smooth, and pulls from all rpms/throttle openings without surging or hesitation. Very happy with this setup until my EFI kit gets here, then I won't have to worry about jetting anymore.

I also replaced all 16 screws that hold the caps and bowls with M4x16 hex head screws. No more stripped screws.

EDIT: edited my post for updates

My bike pulls like a demon all the way through the powerband up to 140 km/h. I have not been able to test the redline in 6th gear because I'm afraid I'd get caught by highway patrol. With that being said, I still have a problem with my idle. When I blip the throttle it hangs a bit before returning back to the pre-set (by me) 1500 rpms.

Edit: I put sea foam in my tank and it cleared up all the issues. My bike runs really well now, but i have yet to figure out the fuel consumption. I may be running a tad rich.

update: Now 2 turns out. Tried one turn but it was not running well. Getting a solid pop when I chop the throttle, and some popping on low-throttle deceleration. Would like to get rid of that... but any more out on the screws and I get the symptoms of over-rich.

JET KIT OR STOCK? Jet kit

BRAND OF JET KIT? FactoryPro

MAIN JET: Stock (Keihin #98)

NEEDLE AND CLIP POSITION: Per FactoryPro starting point recommendation - clip in third groove from the top, three washers above

MIXTURE SCREW SETTINGS: Initially 2 1/2 turns out, now 2 1/4, going to try 2 flat. The bike runs just fine at all rpms and loads, but when the throttle is blipped at idle the speed drops below the idle set point and returns.

ELEVATION: Sea level to about 150 feet

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP:

- Pilot jet replaced with the #40 alternate that came in the jet kit
- DynoJet dynamometer results:
- Peak HP 28.91
- Peak torque 14.37

The dyno guy said "You're fine... you don't need to do anything." He also said his dyno is a bit "tight" and the real numbers may be slightly higher.

Air/fuel was dancing around the "ideal" line... maybe just a tiny bit on the rich side of things overall, but not enough to warrant making any changes.

Fuel economy after a week and two tanks of fuel is between 55 and 63 mpg, driveability is excellent, choke is not needed at startup, and the sound is to die for.

A huge THANK YOU to kkim, who recommended this exact setup. Except for the idle mixture screw settings, he enabled me to nail it on the first try!

Pulls very hard from 8k- to redline. When on the throttle its great but if, i let off the throttle then it feels not as responsive when i try to get back on it .
Debating if I should go to 110 dynojet or keep the 114 and change clip position
dynojet 114 seems really high compared to what some of you guys are running, I looked at the hole differences from the 105 stock Keihin and its almost triple.

MISCELLANEOUS: Went from dynojet to factory pro then back to dynojet. the factory pro was close but the top end lagged no matter what settings, idle and just off idle was terrible with the 40 pilot jet. I would go from 2 turns thru 2.5 and it would fluctuate and/or drop below the set RPM. the 42 is critical IMO.

My theory is the 40 is to much fuel over the air in the mixture, the 42 makes it a better blend at 1.5 turns out. all dirt bike tuners say if its over 2 turns you need to go up one on the pilot.

Tried diff mainjet sizes and diff A/F mixture. When warmed, 90 mainjet was best. I really couldnt notice a difference between 88 and 90 except with 88 i had to do 2.75 turns OUT on the A/F mixture screw. I just didnt like how my idle was, and rather than messing with the pilot went back to 90 mainjet.

I think with the switchover to LeoVince i will get at least 1.5 HP more. The AreaP doesnt seem strong enough.

Currently i am at 90 mainjet, 2 turns on A/F mixture screw.

I am going to try out another carb with Dynojet kit soon.

JET KIT OR STOCK? Jet Kit

BRAND OF JET KIT? Factory Pro

MAIN JET: 112

PILOT JET: 40

NEEDLE AND CLIP POSITION: 2 with one washer underneath for half adjustment.

MIXTURE SCREW SETTINGS: Not sure. 2 turns out initially then fine tuned.

ELEVATION: Sea Level (Florida)

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP:

Bike starts up a lot easier and warms up quick. Pulls hard all the way to red-line. Very smooth power delivery. Needle was originally set on 3rd clip and ran too rich. Then moved to 2nd clip and ran better but a tad to lean, had surging in mid range. Added a washer for half adjustment and runs great, surging gone. This is probably where the jetting will remain on my bike. After I get some more seat time I may tweak more.

BRAND OF JET KIT? Dyno Jet Stage 2 Area P Customized

MAIN JET: 108

PILOT JET: 40

NEEDLE AND CLIP POSITION: Jet kit needles with E clip in third position, one washer under and one above.

MIXTURE SCREW SETTINGS: was 2 turns out, now I have no idea.

ELEVATION: 150 ft according to gps.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP:

installed jet kit with 98 main with areap exhaust and stock intake and 2 washers above E clip, pulled good throughout the rpm range. Installed pod filters with stock runners and crankcase breather, started with a 104 main and stock pilot. Wouldn't start without choke when cold, low end was lean and pulled ok from 6k to 8k then leaned out till redline. Jumped straight to a 108 main and reset idle mixture screws 2 1/2 turns, low end still lean, idled erratically, slight pop on decel, after 8k pulled great. Installed 40 pilots and put one washer under E clip in third position. Still needs choke to start, idle is a little off, pulls pretty evenly from around 4k till redline. Synced carb, idles a little better but still off, can't seem to get it "dialed in" right.

took it to a dyno day to see where its at, 30.8 hp, seems pretty good, going to fiddle with the mixture screws to see if I can make the low end better, if not, it'll stay as it is.

Needle and Clip position: Jet kit needles, clip in 2nd position

Mixture Screw Setting: 2.25ish turns out

Elevation: 4250 ft

Misc Information about Jetting setup:
Started first on pilot circuit. #40 Pilots ran way too rich, swapped back to stock 38. Tuned idle mixture by idle speed and sound. Throttle returns nicely after blip. Started with 108 main, switched to 105 main, and tried 102.5 main. 105 provided best feel to redline. Started with clip in 3rd position, ran decent, 3rd position with washer ran decent but rich 4th position overly rich. 2nd position with washer ran great. 2nd position mid range feel nice and crisp.

Engine would bog and stumble around 2-3K when taking off from stop. Changed float bowl fuel height from 17mm to 18mm, took care of low end stumble.

Bike pulls beautifully from 3k to redline. Plugs look good so far, going to keep this setup for now and check plugs again after tank of gas.

Only change I'm looking at making is possibly going back and adding a washer underneath the needles.

Great you finally got it sorted out
Please be informed that Sportisi kit is NOT a copy of Dynojet Kit. the needle is different and will give you more mid to top end power!

Going to need help when my exhaust comes.

I've been reading up on the whole jet kit thing, and I would like to know if there is anyone in the Riverside/Temecula/Ontario part of CA, that could help me with a baseline to get started with. Once that exhaust comes in, I would like to fidget with it as little as possible. If there is someone close to my area, I can start with what they're running (with altitude and temp adjustments made) and made adjustments off of that.

An extra set of eyes might help too, once installation time comes. Dinner is on me! Well, actually it's up to the wife, cause I can't cook unless it's a peanut butter and jam sandwich.

Hi Mark, you're here also...
you're in correct path... just continue to install washer, clip again and washer again... Make sure you install everything...so the jet needle works properly.

thanks,

Hi everyone, I'm having problem with mine, after pulling the throttle, the RPM slowly goes down, is this something to do with the mixture? After installation of the kit, the mechanic sync the carbs, but I don't know if he played with the mixture screw. The mechanic did not removed the snorkel too. Please help me, the bike is stock on the garage because of the RPM slowly pulls down whenever you rev the throttle. Thanks in advance.

By the way I used the 98 sportisi main jet and the 38 stock pilot jet, I did do the second from top clip needle then washer then clip then washer thing in the needle.

Here in El Paso, TX I started using two washers with success. Had some military training down in San Antonio and dropped down to one washer. Now that I am back in El Paso, I have noticed that I have a surge of power starting at about 5-6k rpm, and a bog down low when it's cold. Once it is warm, it all goes away. Looks like I'll have to tackle the mixture screw to work that out. Snorkel removed.

INTAKE MODIFICATIONS: POD, Kleen air removed, PSR block off plate

EXHAUST MODIFICATIONS: Nojima moto GP full race

JET KIT OR STOCK? Kelhin jets

BRAND OF JET KIT? bought jets from jetsrus

MAIN JET: Kelhin 110

Pilot Jet: #40

NEEDLE AND CLIP POSITION: Stock needles, 5 #4 washers ~ 0.12 total height raised.

MIXTURE SCREW SETTINGS: haven't messed with yet
ELEVATION: 0-3000 feet

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP: BRT-Tis programmable, timing advanced over majority of range compared to stock, Originally put on full exhaust, and pod mod, then put in 115 mains and #40 pilot, with 3 #4 washers ~ 0.09" raised. Felt rich at WOT, so so at 1/2 throttle, 1/8-1/4 felt decent. Lots of decel popping/backfiring. Threw in 118 main as they were all i had, just to see what they did. Was definitely rich at WOT at high RPM, mid range felt decent, at 1/2 throttle and mid range felt pretty good as well.
Tore exhaust back off and sealed every joint (no more decel popping backfire) Threw in 112 main's WOT felt better at high rpm, mid rpm felt poor. With choke on and 1/2 throttle mid range felt better. Must be lean.

Shimmed to 5 washers, 110 main jets and the bike feels completely different so much improved through out the rev range.

Might try the 108 main jets to see if they are better or worse, only way to find out.

So curiosity got the best of me and i sprung for the Factory Pro stage 3 kit for the needles.

Did not ask anyone but was hoping it would come with 108 main jets.... it did not. 110-115's and a 40 pilot.

So my current set up with stock needles 5 washers, 40 pilot, 110 mains the bike runs good 1/4th throttle to redline, rich at 1/8th-1/4th throttle.

I was gonna go back to the 38 stock but instead put in the factory pro needles today and kept jets the same. I guessed on the clip settings based on my stock needle shims and comparing the two different needles.

Figured i would just share some pictures of the two needles side by side.

So FP needle on the top and the stock needle on the bottom. In the full needle shot it is easy to see how long the FP needle is compared to the stock needle. Even with the factory having the clips in the #4 position.

MAIN JET: 108

NEEDLE AND CLIP POSITION: DJ needles, eclip in 3rd position with two washers on top

MIXTURE SCREW SETTINGS: 3 1/2

ELEVATION: 400~600

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP:
Bike feels amazing from 5k-redline, throttle is still snappy in the mid range. It's now possible to do small wheelies : ) considering i have a 15T front sprocket that's a good feat. There is no hesitations or bogging, misses half throttle to wide open. Motor sounds way better with all the intake noise, a little to loud at times. The only issues I'm having Is the low end idle 1/4 throttle. It's having a hard time holding a consistent idle have to re adjust after the bike is warmed up. I've Messed with the screws from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 and it still feels sluggish to take off. It's like it's trying to catch up, and hesitates to go. Once it hits 4.5k it just goes and comes alive to redline. Also when it's cold if I apply the choke, Idle drops way low and engine cuts off, unless you blip the throttle. I might turn the screws out more, which usually means I need a bigger pilot... I will also try and add another washer see if that helps any.. But for now I have to ease into the throttle or just rev it to 2.5-3k and take off..

I think you have it backwards, But then again so could I.

Turning the screws out means more air, you need more air because you already have to much fuel (rich). 3.5 turns out is a good bit, are you running the stock pilot or #40? if you have the 40 in I would go back down to the stock #38. if you still have the #38 then I would make sure the needles are seated correctly and everything else is good, vac lines, slides, diaphragm's ect... if that all checks out, give a lower pilot a shot.

Other reasons I think your idle circuit is rich is you say choke kills it. Choke gives more fuel, since you are already rich the choke makes it even more rich and poof it stalls.
other hint, you say if you blip throttle it doesn't stall. By twisting the throttle you are engaging main jet circuit which in the 1/4-1/2 throttle range is controlled by the needle. Therefore getting out of the idle circuit which is to rich and causing the stall.

I fixed it, turn the screws in till the engine almost cuts out, then back out too set idle. I did this on both and sync the carbs, problem fixed. I guess I was way to rich... And I have the stock 38s in it. Plus there was also a small vacuum hose disconnected. I didn't realize this till about a hour in of trying to sync the carbs. No wonder it kept fluctuating..

The idle mixture screws on the Ninja's carbs are fuel-bleeds, so turning them OUT will let more fuel flow and make it RICH. The opposite is true if the idle mixture screws are air-bleeds (like most Honda dirt bikes).

Yes - if you add choke and it runs worse, you are already rich.

Generally, adjusting the idle mixture screw to get the highest idle speed is a good start. There are times when you will want to go slightly richer on that adjustment to help get a smoother transition to the needle.

You bet.

Most of my experience is on carbs with air-bleeds also, so I have to stop and think about it when tuning the Ninja.

judging from last post apparently I am the only person still messing with their getting

So latest updates here is my latest set up

YEAR: 2012 w 10k miles

INTAKE MODIFICATIONS: POD, Kleen air removed, PSR block off plate

EXHAUST MODIFICATIONS: Nojima moto GP full race

JET KIT OR STOCK? Kelhin jets, FP needles

BRAND OF JET KIT? bought jets from jetsrus

MAIN JET: Kelhin 108

Pilot Jet: #40

NEEDLE AND CLIP POSITION: Factory Pro needles, clip in #3 position with 1 of their shims underneath

MIXTURE SCREW SETTINGS: haven't messed with yet
ELEVATION: 0-3000 feet

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP: BRT-Tis programmable, timing advanced over majority of range compared to stock. Bike runs good through all throttle positions. Runs best at WOT from 9k-12krpms Bike feels lean at 1/4 -1/2 throttle positions all through lower rev range. will shim needles soon.

Bike feels good up top with the 108 at WOT, I feel the power drops off more than with the 110 mains past 12k rpms which kind of makes sense, but I feel like the bike spins up quicker from 9k to 12k. Will run the 108 for a while before I make a final decision. After I shim the needles the bike will probably feel a good bit better everywhere.
