kinkyfreestyler Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 hi everyone ,was wondering if anyone can help? I've just put a gpz 600r motor into another bike (pics later )and I'm going to run single filters (s&b , k&n ) can anyone surgest carb settings (jetting etc ) to give me an idea of where to start before I take it to a dyno shop ,I don't have access to a van so need to sort something to be able to ride it there ! any help would be cool . thanks
Mr.Pigdog Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 wouldn't it be wisest to start with standard and work from there?You have standard sizes available?
dodgy_tom Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 You don't really want to go any higher than +15% stock main jet size on stock carbs. Though unless you've done some serious tuning, you won't need to. On my GPZ500 I went up --5 so from a 130 to a 135. Allens Performance are the people to speak to for your jets, good people. Oh and to add- if it goes pop it's got bugger all to do with me.

lorenzo Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 Wil you need to jet it just to get it to a dyno? Sure, it'll run lean with the stock jets in there, but for a short(ish) distance, so long as you don't ride it hard, this should be OK. A lean engine tends to run hotter, so take it easy, and also lacks power, but it doesn't usually run that badly. Typically a lean engine will tend to be crisp in terms of revving, but lacking any real guts under load, which should be OK to get you a few miles down the road at least. As I said, keep an eye on your temp, as they also run hotter.
