Default jet sizing for airbox mod

what jet size seems to give u the best power after u did the airbox mod with the radiator hose? I am also planning on getting the highlifter module but i dont think that would affect jetting. What kind of pipe would you reccomend for a 04 650?

These subjects are currently running on www.arcticchat.com come have a look-see.

I have just modded my air-box with the VDI snorkle,they reccomend 142 front and 147 rear for under 1600 feet,with one shim under the needles.
This is what I did today,I am waiting on my rear jet to finish up,should be here tomorrow.(yeah,right)
I would save the coin and mod your exhaust,just my two cents though.

The air intake is WAY different on the 05's compared to the 04's. I don't think one is available for the 05's yet. I have seen someone over at Highlifter with pics of a 05 snorkel, if your interested

Ok here goes, First why custom fab when you can just buy and install boot guards (mine as them sort of), mud flaps (also has them) and I don't know about yours but my 400 has full length skid plates from the factory. The carb is a Keihin CVK34, which is bigger than Suzuki runs on their 400. Would it help? I would say yes, at least Highlifter shows a dyno comparision that shows a bit over a 1 horsepower gain. Of course that's with the air filter kit too. It is to bad no one makes a module for the 400, it is AC's best selling model.

i love my 400, one heck of a machine. That things been through some nasty situations and keeps on chugging. Ive hit 55 with my 400 and 60 with my 650 but it still felt strong and i ran out of room. it would be really nice to see more upgrades for the 400 out there, its a great machine. Keeps up well with my uncles 04 500, and then theres my 650, dont even compare
