Yep, stock pipes and airbox rob quite a bit of get up and go. Once you let the engine breathe like it should it really comes alive. Don't forget to rejet so you don't run it lean.

not if yopu are gutting pipes and using pods. You only get so much out of the mixture screw before you reach the max the pilot can allow through. At that point you need a new pilot (probably a 45). Then from almost 1/2 throttle on you are using the main jet and the mixture screw doesn't adjust that at all except what little is still being drawn from the pilot circuit.From there on up you are depending on the needle size and adjustment and size of the main jet.

It never ends. Any time you think your bike is finished, you are sure to see something else you want/need/just-have-to-get.
