If that filter cleaner and oil doesn’t specifically state “for foam filters” I wouldn’t use it. Cleaners not designed for foam can disintegrate the foam and eat the seam glue. Also K&N is pure trash in the off-road world. You couldn’t pay me to run it again.

No problem I appreciate the kind words. As for the performance issues, turns out that my carburetor filter was clogged (the tiny filter letting gas into the carb). I bought a carb clean kit and replaced it and this cleaned the bikes bogging issues up right away. I think that changing the main fuel filter was good to do tho as it was very old.

@@billh1337 well that right there is a damn good observation by me😂 it probably is. If you haven’t gotten them out already I would suggest just getting new aftermarket pipes. The layout of those mufflers is way different than the usual and causes issues with removing that baffle
@davidbalogh3845
@davidbalogh3845 Жыл бұрын
When you remove the rearmost baffle you don't change much. Of course the result is somewhat less backpressure but it's not going to ruin the engine if the carburetor is tuned accordingly. If one puts on a set of eg. Cobra pipes the backpressure changes a lot more drastically compared to this modification, hence the jet kit Cobra also sells. If you experience symptoms like backfiring during engine braking or slight hesitation at low throttle adjust your pilot mixture screws on the carbs. Usually 1/4-1/2 turn counterclockwise will richen the mixture to compensate for this. For more info Google "Vstar Knowledge Base" and look for Carb jetting in the Tuning menu for detailed, model specific explanation and additonal tips.

This year model is a B. But I was going to have to cut the center of the exhaust and was going to have to look inside and see if you could either bend the metal flanges flat or remove it from the other end. After that weld back the cut open metal. I never got the chance too as someone had seen the bike and offered money as she was so I took it.
