VS800 front/rear carbs using different main jets?
Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 3:24 pm
Why are the main jets in the carbs on a VS800 different sizes? And should that same size difference be kept when re-jetting?
A Hayne's manual is telling me: (Rear carb main jet is 5 units larger)
Front Carb:
Main Jet: 127.5
Pilot Jet: 40
Read Carb:
Main Jet: 132.5
Pilot Jet: 45
This Website: https://www.jetsrus.com/a_jet_kit_stree ... truder.htm is telling me: (Rear carb main jet is 37.5 units larger!? Doesn't seem right....)
Front Carb:
Main Jet: 90
Rear Carb:
Main Jet: 127.5
Slow Jet: 40
So what I'm getting at here...
When I go to re-jet my bike, do I keep the front main jet a bit smaller?
If I re-jet to say, a 165 in the front, should my rear be the same 5 units larger? so 170?
My bike has airboxes removed, K&N pod filters, and Jardine slip ons (LONG ONES) pics of the pipes can be seen in this thread: http://www.intruders-alert.com/viewtopi ... =19&t=4757
