Are you having any performance issues??? Off idle stumble? Bad mileage or popping on decel?

It does pop on decel, mileage is good, 40+ it does cough and die off idle occasionally. AIS is still installed but I have a kit here to remove it.

The AIS needs to come off and bring a #40 pilot jet with you.

It's not that bad of a job. If I remember correctly you have to remove the ignitor and maybe the battery box to get to the rear head plate.

Got AIS off. Where can I get that pilot jet quickly? Didn't realize it wasn't in the barons kit. Is there a part number I can search?

Re:Plug reading question 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
Plug reading is not the same anymore since the ethanol has been added to the gasoline.
I talked to Dynojet technicians about it.

You might want to call them and find out the latest info on plug readings.

When I bought a Dynojet kit I did get a new pilot jet.
I installed the jets they gave me and followed the instructions
they gave me according to the way my bike was set up, and it runs perfect.
