I hear ya Kim, I will get some soon. I was more interested in hearing and testing it to get pics

On a side note, I think I will have to pull the Kleen air system as it is making a few poping backfires

Viper-Byte · February 5th, 2009, 11:56 AM

Right, so I will need to pull out the Kleen air system, that is fine, I should be able to do that today.

I have got 2 and a half days off this weekend (Friday public holiday and have to work half a day on Saturday

) but the week end is still packed, so I won't be able to install the jet kit

and here I was thinking a girl friend would be good

(In all seriousness, she is great

) Anyway! The bike is running weak in the low end up to about 8KRPM when the power surges on, I have got 3 washers under the needles and I am thinking that I may need to add another. What would you guys think?

And yes, I will try to get pics! (after washing her that is)

I think she'll survive w/ 3 washers until the jetting.... I'm talking about the bike, not your GF.

pulling the Kleen system will get rid of the popping. make sure you plug the holes at the cylinder head and the airbox.

this time I'm hoping you're talking about the GF!

OK then. I must say the AreaP makes a nice sound at about 5.5KRPM, I was riding through town and people were looking, it was great

Yep, I have read the DIY a few times over, so much that I don't need to look at it

I just have to wait it the stores open to be able to get some plugs.

Ha ha ha, I will see

But that is a yes to pics of my bike!

kkim · February 5th, 2009, 12:44 PM

What I like most about the Area P is how the power is flattened/smoothed out throughout the entire rpm range with a nice top end addition as the icing on the cake. It makes the engine feel like there is power everywhere, except just a small portion of the rpm range like the stock exhaust.

Viper-Byte · February 5th, 2009, 12:51 PM

Yes, it does make a nice addition to the powerband (it will be better once I install the jet kit)

I was just thinking, if I am going to pull out the Kleen air system, why not drop another washer onto the needles as I have direct access to the carbs...

kkim · February 5th, 2009, 12:55 PM

Sorry about that... forgot you're gonna tear the bike apart... again.

yeah, drop another in, but I haven't heard of anyone using 4 before. Let me know the results.

Viper-Byte · February 5th, 2009, 12:59 PM

Ha ha ha. Yeah, I am not sure if that is too many or what... I guess I could try removing one and see what happens?

Kelly, I think I might be turning into be the same as you

it seems my bike is almost spending as much time with her clothes off than on recently!!

kkim · February 5th, 2009, 01:02 PM

are you having any issues with it the way it is now w/ 3?

Viper-Byte · February 5th, 2009, 01:15 PM

Not issues as such, just the weakness up to about 8KRPM

kkim · February 5th, 2009, 01:21 PM

add one.

Viper-Byte · February 6th, 2009, 01:25 PM

Well I added a washer and it is running great

I am just having trouble finding some bungs for the kleen air system (yes I know how you have used a hose with a screw, but I want mine to be as neat as possible

)

kkim · February 6th, 2009, 01:29 PM

just use the hose and bolt thingy for now until you can find a proper replacement. it will at least put a stop to the rumble and popping at low rpm.

You can't even see the plugs when the bike is back together and it's fully functional.

cool that the extra washer helped.

Yeah, that is true. I will see what I have got at home to do it.
