only adjustable stock needles were canadian models (some overseas may have it too).
EGT means Exhaust Gas Temperature
Usually set the A/F to best idle which may or may not be the same for each cylinder. I do tend to set them all the same myself at about 2 to 2.5 turns. You may need to clean up a couple of the carb circuits to get it to idle correctly or even change out a couple of the jets.
First thing we would need to help you would be the entire setup. Exhaust type, current jets, ect...

My max is probably sold in the USA and was imported to sweden 2 years ago. V-boost. Due to an accident (woman in a car who reversed in to it in a parking lot) The exhoust-system is changed to the 100 hp version. (apperently the only avalible at the time) witch I opend up a littli bit (the trick with 8 mm holes inbetween the rivets and the distanced the rear shield a bit.) Apart from that I assumed unill now that the rest was stock.
I Cant say witch sizes of jets I have. I did not really payed any attension to what stood on them as I had it apart.
My Max ran fine (but lacked power - me unknowely) untill it started to run on only tre cylinders. I felt that it was rear left cylinder that did not got as warm as the rest.
When I started the bike without the airbox I noticed that front right cylinders thottle did not move like the rest and that there was no needle whatsoever front left. :confused2:
Front right membrane was not fitted as it shuld in the groove
Front left needle layed in the trottle but the bottom plastic bit was missing.
Then I removed the idle-mixture screws after notecing that they where 3? turn from bottom. I removed the jets above and the ones you see from the intake of the carb. Then I cleaned as good as I could with white spirits and compressed air.
I put everything back together as I it should be.
ANd suddenly the bike only Idled with chooke. 5? turn on the idle-screws was needed to make it run without chooke at idle. I know that its to much.
It runs on all four again at least.
The bike feels ruff at low rpm:s, hesitates a little bit when I turn the trottle.
Im very happy that it suddenly goes like a bat out of hell att higher rpms now. But I would like so sort out the low rpm as well.
My guess is that the needles and the membrane to the front carbs have been like that for a while and somebody as adjusted mixture as well as possible to compensate for that.
So I would like to get it back to stock - or as close as possible and then go from there.
If there are aftermarket needles it should be dynojet stage 1 or am I wrong? How do they recomend basic setting?
