Btw I'd recommend a UNI or other quality foam filter over a K&N

K&N's don't filter hardly any dirt, they just flow tons of air

Although its not so important on the street, as it is on a off-road vehicle, with how low the intake is on these bikes, I'd definitely run a foam filter

u want better flow. as long as u keep the filter oiled, it will do its job in catching the dirt, but thats my opinion. :wink:

oh, to answer your question.....every engine is different. plan on pulling your carb off a dozen times till u find the jet that works best for your engine. yes.....plug chops are necessary..........lots of chops lol. :wink:
