Yup, thats why I said if I know my bike was very happy with the 40 pilot, but every one is different.

There are three ways of doing things. The right way, the wrong way, and then there is the Norwegian way.

I think it is set good for my bike . When its cold and I first crank it I have the choke all the way out and after say 10 seconds I have to push it in half way because it starts stuttering . Leave it half way for about a couple minutes and she is good to go .
What if you don't ever have to choke it?

If you never have to choke it then you may have to big of a pilot jet in there. You will need to check to see what size you have now. Also need to insure that the choke is completely closing if you have the correct pilot in there now. It is getting extra fuel from somewhere.

Sounds like someone needs to. If you are at all mechanically inclined. Between a few members here we can walk you thru it. It isn't all that bad.

Hyperchargers are jetted different tan any other air filter, Kury has their own way of doing their air cleaners so the only one you could possibly follow is another person with the same air filter. I used to have one and know this for a fact. Nuff said.
