    Rejetting required with UFO exhaust?

    maybe 2000-5000rpm. Not sure really, feels like it is popping at all rpms when Im not pushing the engine. If I accelerate it runs very well. Therefore I am thinking maybe a carb sync is needed?

    Rejetting required with UFO exhaust?

    A small update. I have now installed the UFO 4-2-2 exhaust. Shiiiiiiitttt THOSE are loud as f***!!! Even with the smaller endcaps. Tried the bike out for a week without adjusting anything. Crazy fun :P The super weird thing is that the consumption went from 24 mpg to 42 mpg! I have changed the...

    oldest surviving vmax....

    My 85 has VIN JYA1GR00 2 FA000410. I think the "1GR" means its Canadian. Now it is imported to Norway. Just finished the restoration yesterday. All stock.

    The spare carbs had 175 mains in them. In the the Dynojet stage 7 instruction manuel I found online thy say to install DJ165 mains if you have stock modified exhaust and DJ175 mains for aftermarked exhaust. Is the DJ175 the same as the 150 main jets you refer to?

    I think I will only change the main jets for now. Leave the needles as it has been. Bought the bike last year, beeing an 85 I bet someone have had an aftermarked exhaust on it before. So just change mains to 150 and test how the bike reacts to the UFO. Drive aroud for a day or so and then start...

    Thank for all the good links and pictures! Really helped! Loved the main jet turorial. The new UFO exhaust is 4-2 with megaphone mufflers. I am intereseted in the picture of the needles. As you said I have Canadian needles with the slots, but I think mine looked more like the factory pro...

    Rejetting required with UFO exhaust?

    Thank you for your replies! so basically no power increse with UFO exhaust with stock carbs, and possibly loose some power midrange? Does anyone have any pictures of what is the main jet? I looked today, screwed out what I thought was the main to check for the "152" but just some strange...

    Rejetting required with UFO exhaust?

    Hello! As the title says I am wondering if I have to install a stage 7 kit when replacing my exhaust with a full UFO exhaust with the megaphone cans. It is a 1985 full power Canadian version. I pulls like crazy.. I think the carbs are all stock (how can I find out btw? measure the jets?)...
