I can fit the pipes & probably the AI removal kit,but think I'll wait until a mate with a lot more mechanical ability is available to re-jet Even with Dinqua's excellent instructions may be beyond my very limited ability THE QUESTION IS,will it harm the motor to ride bike before fitting the jets supplied with pipes?

When I put my Epcos on, the bike ran like crap before I put the new jets in. Let's hope there's intelligent life somewhere in space 'cause it's buggar all down here. -- Monte Python

Using Pat's jetting calculator it appears that if I fit the 45 pilots & remove top snorkel i should fit 131 mains.Does this sound right cheers Tommy "I don't want a pickle just want to ride my motorsickle" Arlo Guthrie
