i don't know what jetting is please tell me, this is the best place to ask that question I have a warrior if i take off the air box lid would i go fast have more power or reach top speed faster thanks

 

Jets are the regulator in the carb that set how much fuel going into the engine... The more air you put in the more fuel you will need to mix w/ it. Too much air and, not enough fuel will cause a lean Condition which can harm your motor. The opposite of this is called a rich condition which will make a given bike run sluggish because their would be to much fuel and, not enough air.

If You just rmove your airbox lid w/o rejetting to a bigger size you will be runnning lean and, it will run bad along w/ harm your bike.

 

I'll try to make this as uncomplicated as possible. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

There are really only two elements you'll need to work with when rejetting. The Main Jet and the Jet Needle.

The main jet is a small nut-like device that has a tiny hole in it that allows fuel to come up from the float bowl in to the venturi. The larger the hole, the more fuel that can come through.

The jet needle is a needle looking device located in the throttle slide (the part that moves up and down as you push the the throttle). It's tapered and goes into the main jet. At idle the needle is almost completely restricting the main jet. There's just enough fuel (and air) getting in to let it idle.

The jet needle can be adjusted by moving it up or down with a clip. The jet needle will affect operation from 1/4 to 3/4 throttle.

The main jet will take over from 3/4 to full throttle because it's completely unrestricted and determines the amount of fuel that can come from the float bowl. You can get main jets in different sizes to allow more (or less) fuel to enter the ventruri.

OK, let's say you take your air box lid off. You will be getting more air in to the engine which will make it lean. You will probably get a backfire at around 1/2-3/4 throttle. That's because the engine isn't getting enough fuel to make an efficient burn. At 3/4-full throttle you will actually notice a loss in power (it'll feel like it's bogging down, especially near full throttle), again because the engine isn't getting the fuel it needs.

To fix this (and these are just examples, you'll have to play with it to find the right combination) you can raise the needle a position or two. That would help with the 1/2-3/4 throttle problems. To solve the 3/4-full throttle problems, you'd get a larger main jet.

But to answer your question. If jetted correctly, you'll have a slight increase in power. But adding a freer flowing exhaust along with the open airbox will give you a lot more power.

 

hey i was wondering what the difficulty level would be for an exhaust/jet kit would be on a warrior ne help would be appreciated
