Yep. It ran good, but when it came on the pipe it had like an extra powerband. It would hit a certain rpm and then start taking off. Leaning it out that little bit made it crispy throughout instead of just adding top end to each gear. I will sometimes go the wrong direction also. I think you need leaner instead of richer, even though that seems funny to add power, acceleration and be reducing fuel. I may have rode it the way it was, but my buddy (seasoned rider) automatically said I need to change the needle when I told him about the hard hit on top.
Its a great pipe. I believe that it is the same as the platinum pipe without the nicer finish of the Platinum's.
If you are asking me about mixture, its 44:1 with Klotz Techniplate.(synthetic) Probably could run 50:1 without trouble, but we are running 6 bikes on the same gas so its one of those things that is a constant so jetting doesn't get any more confusing that it already can be.
Pro circuit reccomended two steps leaner on the needle for my 500 with stock jetting for Pltinum 2 pipe. Stock needle setting was third(middle) Be sure to go back to 1 1/2 turns out on the mixture screw and be sure idle screw isn't turned in too far. That has messed me up before. I had the mixture rich, then the idle turned in, so I loaded up the bike constantly without being off on jets.
