Just think, all the money you save by jetting yourself instead of paying the shop to do it - you can buy more parts!!

Ok.. here's my nickel's worth of advice.

If you're not changing anything other than the muffler then you will most likely be ok with the stock jets. Give it a test ride first before you go diving in to the carbs to jet it. They're a pain in the "you know what" to get to but the actual change isn't hard.

When you get into changing things in the stock airbox, then it's a MUST to change jets. Up until a few days ago I was running pretty much a stock pipe with only airbox mods: No snorkel and (3) 1 1/2 holes drilled in the lid with a ProFlow K&N kit. That's where I got my power and it was a pretty big change!

So it comes down to this, leave them stock for now. Keep an eye on the plug, it should have some color (not much), not bone white like it is out of the box. Be aware of how the bike is running, if it feels it's running lean or hotter than normal it just may be.

I know this is a pretty broad spectrum of things to consider but I hope it helps!

Good luck!
