Well put on the new pipe and and did a test run with the jetting i already had. Didnt take long to see that i needed to re-jet. After putting in 148/150 mains with needles in 3rd slot and 3 turns out on both screws, I did another test run. Power definitely feels different than the yoshi. Seems to hit harder than the yoshi did. Overall power dont feel all that much different with maybe a little gain on the top end. I am very satisfied with the pipe. Sounds awesome with very nice power gains.

Do you think that there was enough of a difference to be worth buying another pipe??? Just wondering....

you need some more jetting the Sparks needs more the needle should be in the 4th and where you live you might need 150/155 Dynojet mains,27.5 pilots 3 turns. I had the the Yoshi jetted perfect and there is a night and day difference between the 2.
If your Yoshi was jetted perfect then your lean all across the board

I was hoping you were going to reply Pat. I had 155/160 mikunis with the needle in the 5th slot with my yoshi and it pulled very strong. Those were the only mikunis i had, so I went back to the dj's. I put in 148/150 with needles in the 3rd slot, stock pilots. I figured since THEMOOSE was running 146/148 with holes in his lid, 148/150 should work pretty good without my lid. Although I realize every quad is different. What do you think Pat? Honestly, as it is right now, I dont feel any difference between pipes. Plus its about 80 degrees out and only getting hotter, so i figured the temp change would have an effect also. Im at 700 ft above sea level.


The only way I wouldve sold my yoshi is if the chance was ever given. Someone was interested in buying my pipe, so I said what the heck. Plus I made a significant profit from what I gave for the Yoshi. No I dont feel there is any need to buy a 450$ pipe, then buy another 500$ pipe just to see if there is any difference. However, seems like everyone runs with the yoshi and I wanted something different. Im very happy with my exchange. I only gianed in profit by switching pipes.

Your right about Moose he has his dialed in great for his place but you need more. I had both and there is a huge difference PERIOD!

Dynojet 150/155 no lid K&N needle 4th, 27.5 pilots 2.5 to 3 turns and you will be real close and a big improvement! You still holding back the pipe system ALOT
Remember you can always pm me
You'll have to order the 155 from Dynojet there only 2 buck I bought all the way to 180 and I'm running a 160/165 now on my ported bike at 5200 feet

Hey guys, I was wondering where you can buy the sparks pipe and the best price to buy them from. I was thinking of the yoshi but now I am having seconds thoughts. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Pat for the info. I will rejet as soon as possible. I rode it quite a bit today and I am very impressed thus far.


03 - I ordered mine straight from Sparks (661-872-4343). I havent seen them anywhere else.
