Jetting!!! Again and again and again!

gowen:
Zert, call Sudco for needles. They are $6 a piece over $25-$30 a piece. (323)728-5407 I say to call them because they will help you with the numbers and getting the correct needle. That way you could pick up a few. But if you are richer than stock, I'd just go down one Needle and go with that. But, if it is still too rich you'd only be out $6. Just an idea. Let us know how it does.

zert:
@gowen,i'am from belgium so i guess sudco is a little to far for me but thanks for the tip.The two holes in the airbox,do they have a meaning?Should they be open,close?My previous one('90)didn't have these holes.

Danger4u2:
Lets more air into the filter, in wet conditions keep them shut.

Timbowe:
Makes quite a bit of difference to the top end with them both open.

KXcam22:
Tim,
  That's a good call.  For supermoto Zert should probably test all his jetting with both of them open for max airflow & power (I'm too chicken to open mine).  A K&N airfilter might also improve the flow a bit more.  I doubt if there is much dust to worry about.  Zert, sudco is definately the place for parts but given your location, I think the Local Kaw dealer might be easier.  Based on your elevation I think you will only end up buying the stock needle, possibly a second leaner one depending on how things work out.  Slide #7 is stock so that's a good thing. Let use know how the testing goes. Cam.
