B0S24-"The tuning really needs to be done out on the road, or at least on a dyno & fine-tuned on the road. The A/F meter is great."

erle,,,,,after 1200+ posts, you finally come around,,,,hooray! People have told me that its hard coming out. congrats!

Cause i do have an "Innovate" AFR meter with individual sensors on each header, monitoring each lung, being able to record idle, cruise, WOT,,,,everything.
Other websites suggest the same steps. Mains 1st, needles 2nd, pilots 3rd. Float levels aren't mentioned except on http://www.factorypro.com/tech/carbtun.html

shows realtime graphs of my setup that i'm running now.
Cruise speeds run slightly lean, nail the throttle brings it down to the performance AFR ratio's.

Pats jet calculator is a geat starting point. Main jets are spot on if not 0.5 rich.

When you dyno your bike have the person record your idle, 30 mph cruise, 60 mph cruise and WOT, Air Fuel Ratio's.
10 seconds each besides WOT
Idle and cruise AFR's will help ya on needles(shims) and pilots (and the "closet" float level)



I have one more adjustment to make and thats to balance the carbs. I invested in vacuum sensors that plug into the "Innovate" system. Once completed the whole setup (headers, sensors, the works)will be available for other members to perfect their bikes with
