Hey, new guy here. I just bought an 04 V-Force, the guy I got it from gave me a Bartlett Racing airbox kit. I got it installed using the recomended 170/175 jets, which I thought seemed really big. Now it runs like crap, its REALLY rich (big surprise). Anybody have a recomendation on what jets to try? The kit also had a 165 jet, I could try 165/170, but I don't think it would help. Thanks in advance.

 

Oh yea, its all stock, but I have already ordered a EPI red spring and a 6* timing key.

 

what kind of exhaust do u have on it,,is it still the stock one.,,

 

What altitude do you ride at? Are you sure it's not running lean? 170/175 can actually be lean if your riding at sea level using Bob's air box and running a good exhaust.

 

I still have the stock exhaust, and I am only about 900'. It is definately rich at idle, it is smoking and wants to die. I turned the screws out 2.5 turns like the instructions said to. I am going to adjust on them more today. When I saw what size the stock jets were compared to the new ones, I figured for sure they were to big, and didn't put much effort into trying to tune it.

Also, does anybody have a stock exhaust they want to get rid of cheap (or free!!). I am going to make a dual set up with stock pipes.

 

Ok, it idles good but stumbles and smokes coming off idle up to1/4 throttle. It seems ok if I rev it quick though. I tried adjusting the pilot screws, but the idle never changed no matter how far in or out I tried.

 

hey you wanna buy a stock exhaust????i have one i dont use it anymore since i have DMC ALIENZ know so i would be willing to sell ot or make a trade for a none stock cluch spring and some money??if you want we can make a deal!!!thier not even messed up or scratched i didnt give the bike that much pressure when it was new!!!!!so if u wanna hit me up!!!!!

oh yea good luck with the jetting problem im havion sum diffuculty to becouse i made sum air box modz and im not sure what the jettz are!!!!lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] lol

 

did u try to put the stock element over the k&n air fliter to cut back on the air flow,,May be geting to much air,,for the stock pipe ,,,i seen some v run good with that set up then i seen some not and run with some holes in the lid,,

 

I may be getting a stock exhaust for free, but if it doesn't come through I would be willing to buy yours if it was cheap enough. How much would you want for it shipped to 42701?

 

Hey guys don't think I'm the forum police or anything but they'll shut down your thread if you start buying or selling and start laying down dollar signs. So you may want to use private messages or something else. Not being nosy just trying to help[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
