#1004962 derekblake40 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 7 Baron bak and vance and hines short shots jetting 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Hey everyone, this is my first post on here. I just picked up my 05 road star 1700 3 weeks ago and have already ordered the Vance and Hines short shots exhaust and my baron big air kit and jet kit are on their way as we speak. I also ordered a mikuni 37.5 and 40 pilot jets. Im planning on keeping the baffles in on the exhaust and I live at around 800 elevation near Fort Wayne Indiana. From my understanding I'm planning on running a 172.5 main, 40 pilot, clip on the 4th notch from the top and the pms screw between 2 and 2.5 turns out? Is that a good start or should I start somewhere else? Thanks in advance.   Logged     2005 road star silverado midnight.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004966 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Baron bak and vance and hines short shots jetting 11 Months, 1 Week ago   derekblake40 wrote: Hey everyone, this is my first post on here.

Remember to revisit the torque on the exhaust nuts a few times after a ride, when the motor is cold. The hot and cold cycles and snugging as needed, will help the exhaust settle in properly.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004978 derekblake40 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 7 Re:Baron bak and vance and hines short shots jetting 11 Months, 1 Week ago   I have already installed the exhaust. I had to after the first ride sounding like a sewing machine! Lol. And yes I changed the exhaust gaskets. I've already done the engine oil change and transfer case as well as doing plugs. Still waiting on the Fed ex guy to come with the Bak and the local Yamaha shop to get the fuel filter in stock. So far though I absolutely love the road star. Sounds great with the short shots too.   Logged     2005 road star silverado midnight.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004989 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Baron bak and vance and hines short shots jetting 11 Months, 1 Week ago   I missed that part about your first post.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004990 Father_Pobasturd (User) VENI VIDI VICI Platinum Boarder Posts: 4980 Re:Baron bak and vance and hines short shots jetting 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Most people do an introductory post but I guess this will do. Getting right down to business. I like that.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004991 Jclevesque (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1461 Re:Baron bak and vance and hines short shots jetting 11 Months, 1 Week ago   sounds like you have been reading plenty on here about jetting.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1005012 Chromeinator (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1733 Re:Baron bak and vance and hines short shots jetting 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Toronto Canada   Logged     [/URL]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1005017 saszeus (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 99 Re:Baron bak and vance and hines short shots jetting 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Welcome to the forums, I also have an 05 with V&H pipes (long shots) and a big air intake.
