What did you do to it to cause it to run lean in the first place. Was it running that way when you brought it home? Other than re-jetting, have you done any other mods to it like remove the air box lid or new pipe or anything.

throw the damn dynojet kit out the window. Then go buy yourself a new needle and a 170 main.

Whatever it is that's causing your bike to do that, I have the same problem. When I accelerate hard and get to the top of 4th and 5th gear the bike coughs and misses bad. I really can't get any top end out of it. Some people say that it is the rev limiter but sometimes it just dies out just like you mentioned. I've got a full Curtis Sparks exhaust and K&N filter with no lid. I'm running a 4th clip position on a Curtis Sparks needle, 176 main, 45 pilot, approx 2.5 turns out on a Zip Ty fuel mixture screw. I've jetted up and down and up and the only reason I kept the 176 in is because that's what other guys that I've spoken to locally are running. I should have stayed stock, the bike ran much better.

Can't you just do plug tests like on a 2 stroke? Thats how I jetted all my bike and it works great.

You can run the stock needle with no problems. I ran mine on the 5th clip for a while. Thought id try the NCVQ needle cause everyone spoke so highly of it. If you have a dead spot in the midrange of throttle they say the needle clears this up. I didnt but the needle was cheap so I tried it.

IMO the dyno jet kits are junk. That's what i had and i took them out and threw them away. My mods are cam, no lid and no spark arrester. My jetting is 165 main 48 pilot and i am still using the stock needle on the 5th clip. It's hard to tell if there is something wrong because you are using dyno jet. What size dj jet did you put in?
