Default how hard to rejet carb?

I'm thinking about getting a new muffler..... either a pro curcuit T-4 or something i duno even know yet. I want good power increase without the loud. and a K&N with a filter wrap deal and removing the airbox lid. But i'm a little worried about rejetting the carb. Is this a difficult proceedure to do? Could one of you guys give me a quick run down of how to do it before i buy all the stuff then find out i can't do it. Any special tools?

Thanks all

Easy to do. Buy a Dynojet kit. It gives illustrated instructions and takes some of the guesswork out of which jet to use.

If your using a k&n, just go by the diagram that comes with the kit. It's not that hard to do. It does help to have a shop manuel or a Chilton guide. But, you should have that anyways.

I agree on the K&N (actually Dyno kit) jetkit. It makes it super easy and takes the guess work out.

its pretty easy to do. takes about an hour, mainly time to take off the fenders and the gas tank and put it all back together. if you dont have to adjust the needle its pretty easy. once you loosen the hose clamps on either side of the carb you just flip it over, take off the four screws on the bowl, take off the bowl, and then switch out the main jet, and/or the slow jet if you need to. anyone who is mechanically inclined can do it. just takes a little time and patience. if you ask me, the diagram and instructions in the dynojet kits sucks. oh, before you remove the tank be sure to shut off the gas, otherwise it will keep running out of the tank. good luck!
