soooo i guess i have to post here three times before i can post where i want to (tech)
so firstly hello im new sort of i been reading these forums ever since i bought my 94 vt1100c which i believe is a spirit model plain jane which i absolutely am in love with btw
anyway when i bought it, it was stock no upgrades that i could find so first thing i did was buy an after market exhaust with k&n filter and jet kit and was told in no uncertain terms that i absolutely had to do the jets with the exhaust or the bike would not run period.
however im not one to follow the rules so i changed out the exhaust and just for kicks started it up it ran fine actually seemed better and more responsive than before so i left it for the time being this was last summer and i just wanted to get riding
so fast forward to now its spring kind of riding weather but not really so i decided i would do the jets
here's where things seem wrong i had asked the previous owner if he had done the jets he said no when i went to do them the what should be stock main jet was bigger then the recommended jet from dynajet which didnt make much sense but i thought well stranger things have happened the a/f screws no longer had a cover which again seemed strange but i carried on and replaced both the lager main jet and the stock needles which were stock no doubt there and put it all back together and well not really impressed :-( i have definitely lost some top end power and i have way more popping on decel
so im wondering should i go back to the supposedly stock main or do some fiddling with the a/f ?
side note i also had to adjust the idle up a smidgen to get it to idle right
thanks all
sorry for the long novel like post
