Anyone installed one of Moose Racing's jet kits in their Hawkeye? Curious as to what the results were. I should get my kit Monday.

Also, can the carb be taken off the intake, and turned over without removing the rear fender/bodywork?

 

I put a Dynojet kit in my 2006 Hawkeye, which I think is the same thing. It works very well and is well worth the money. I didn't have to screw around with holes in the air box or any of that. Better throttle response and really clean running. Easy starting hot or cold. You will get a wide choice of main jets with the kit and what you use depends on where you ride. I ride in rain forest at 2,500 feet. High humidity and warm. I used the 137 main. I did spark plug readings under load at various throttle positions and it was consistantly tan throughout.

I had to take the rear bodywork off of mine. That's the biggest part of the job but it's necessary.

 

Appreciate the response. I've already removed the rear bodywork, and am expecting UPS to deliver the kit Monday. The altitude here in Indianapolis is about 800 feet. I read on another post someone used a 142, or 142.5 main jet. I have no intention of removing any airbox plugs, that seems to me to be a cheap fix.

I suppose I will snap the seat back on and ride it to be sure of the jetting before I put the rear bodywork back on.

BTW, have you drilled the slide in your Hawkeye? I did that, and it made a big difference in throttle response. The things runs good now, what exactly can I expect to see in preformance gains over the stock setup? Any real gain in horsepower/torque?

 

No, I haven't drilled the slide. I'm happy with the throttle response I am getting out of the jetting kit. I also installed a K & N air filter and Polaris' auxillery oil cooler when I did the jetting kit so I don't know which is doing what. My guess is that the air filter and jetting kit are giving a little more power and the oil cooler is maintaining the gain by keeping the engine from running hot.
