Hey. Mister tom i'm about to do the same kit on the same bike.Just watched your video good stuff but how did you position the needle in the holder did you just drop it through the top? And it floats in there or does the clip go on the bottom? That was one part you left out. You said we're gonna replace this clip. Set up and then the bike was back together. That's the part I need to know. How does the clip set up go? Any help would be great, thanks.

@TomsTinkeringandAdventures 7 күн бұрын
Lots of factors go into jetting including the exhaust you use, if you have opened up the airbox, altitude, cam, etc. I couldn't tell you for sure what jets to use but if you do some searching online you should be able to find someone with a similar setup and you can start from there. It will likely need fine tuning, so get a few jets bigger/smaller from your start point and just work through it. Best of luck.

Soap will clean them really well, but unless they are rinsed thoroughly they will attract dirt and a faster rate. The best way I have found is to use a steam cleaner and as many microfiber towels as needed to remove dirt.

You need to clean the upper “loop” that the belt runs through. Lift up the belt & look at the loop, all the goop that collects on belt sloughs off onto the edge of the loop. Toothbrush & some cleaner very quickly takes it off. IMO, that’s far more often the problem than the belt itself being dirty.
