No real thoughts yet. My daughter and girlfriend are both out of town, so I figured I'd see what folks were up to.

I've taken a bunch of bikes to Manayunk Triumph for service. They may not be the cheapest out there, but they do good work. I'd trust them with any of my bikes.

^^ Thanks Jeremy; nothing's wrong with it - I just want to shim the needles and am not confident enough to tackle it myself.

Guys, shimming the needles is very easy. I can give you a hand if you want to tackle it.

I didn't jet. Just a couple shims. May even have enough washers left for you guys to use if you want 'em.

well i have a slip on aftermarket exhaust and im occasionally getting some pops, which ive read means im running lean and need rejet. also would like to ad hi flow K&N air filter and from what ive read i need to add jet kit first. i know i will get a lil extra HP out of doing so, which would be nice. im just new to all this and a bit wary of taking my engine apart. ive done some cosmetic and control mods myself, but the mechanical stuff still makes me a bit nervous. plus this is my everyday driver so i cant afford to screw it up and not have trans for any extended period of time.

August 6th the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter of the Christian Sport Bike Association will be having its monthly ride. We'll be meeting for breakfast around 8am at the Starlite Diner in Fogelsville off of Rt. 100 and I-78.
A ride follows up to the coal regions leaving around 9:15-9:30am. |

Shimming is a form of rejetting, just not as involved. I have a 2 bros slip on and it helped mine warm up quicker and idle better. I also pulled the snorkel. If you're definitely doing the air filter an moving to a full exhaust, from what I've read, you should rejet. Otherwise, shimming might be all the rejetting you need.
That's how I understand it at least

I hear that! If you decide to just shim (or if you need a hand Deb), let me know.

I got mine at Manayunk Triumph. They threw a bunch in a baggie for me. No problems, so they must've been the right size. I was itching to get it done one Saturday and I didn't want to order a dollar worth of washers and wait for them to ship so I checked with them and got lucky.

Don't feel like quoting above posts, too lazy..lol
Yes shimming is a rudimentary form form of making your mixture richer. Adding an exhaust or pulling the snorkel will need shims. I believe it's 2-3 washers for an exhaust or removing the snorkel, otherwise your bike will be too lean. Of course I believe 2 works for most people, but each bike's factory mixture setting can vary a little. My friend's 250 runs a tad leaner than mine. |

Yeah, I Went with two. It's not hard, but I didn't want to try one and then have to tear in and add a second.
I've been happy with mine. Definitely runs better in the midrange.

Notice a difference in fuel eco?
I've been wanting to do it, but laziness and other commitments have triumphed over me just spending a few hours and getting it done. |

Not really, but I don't pay too much attention to mileage. Pretty broad estimates are that I'm getting about 50mpg, but I'm also pretty heavy on the throttle (and on the seat )
I did the shimming pretty soon after I got the bike, so I don't have a lot to compare with when it comes to pre-shimming.
