Feels like its still a little lean cause it pops on decel, but not as bad as before. At the same time it feels like its running out of fuel at high rpms, vs before when it was feeling too fat. It was just a quick ride too and didn't get her properly hot, so w/e, but i might need an in between size, like a 107 or 108 vs the 105 and 110 i've tried.

I'll bring jets to next event and get it sorted.
didnt track bro say a 108?
108 was not an option to buy

That's the pilot jet. Looks like the main is 99101-393 series. Which is also the same main jets used on the 400 :mindblown: Check out Jets R Us - they more than likely have every jet size known to man. I've used them for jets since before I had my driver's license - Good people.

Thanks. I was buying other shit and didn't want to pay shipping twice. It's way better with the 105 so I'll rack that for a minute.

Tomorrow some light maintenance on the :mk6: Oil, cabin filter, plugs, belt.

Then, I think I will at least contemplate my garage reorganization. With the big bike AND the dirt bike....its not super tight but things need to be moved to work on things in the garage :dislike:

I also got 2 big olde free cabinets from work that will replace my cheap plastic getups. I need to play with some ideas in cad

:mk6: maintenance was done. that belt is a bitch.

Track bike started leaking gas as i was loading it up. @ carb teardowns later it was holding fuel without pissing it on the ground.

Track day went great, low turnout so tons of riding.
Clutch started slipping.....

so another 200 bucks later I'm doing:
High flow oil pump, clutches, clutch springs. A fork seal started leaking so I bought those to change too soon ish.

Carb on track bike rebuilt, all ethanol safe seals, so fresh, so clean. Used :dubshow: 's ultrasonic cleaner to really get it all super clean.

I think it helped, between that and all the new seals and the adjustable needle depth. still a bit of a stumble if you chop the throttle too quick, and yes i know thats bad to do anyway, just saying. BUT, the big thing is the stumble on tip in is GONE. :fuckyeah:

You haven't lived until the bike stops running at tip in because you flooded it at the end of the straightaway.

Thinking it may be time to send the van on its way and get into a cheaper CUV as has been discussed in the car thread.

I need to be under 15k, want 3rd row, nav, backup camera, ~100k miles. No truck chassis vehicles, no :doge: .

short list right now seems to be
ferd explorer
infinity jx35
Acura MDX
volvo xc90
Buick Enclave
Toyota Venza ?
Mazda cx9 though i've seen none for sail in our area.

Why Nav? Waze and Google Maps is immensely better than the OE integrated stuff.
