EZ's Stock bike Mods: 1)Drill a 1 5/8" hole directly across from the first hole of the stock exhaust on the same side as the stock hole but all the way to the right of it. 2)Rejet 45/170 (some years will have 170 stock - some don't) 3)Shim needle to 0.05 - 2 #4 machined brass washers is close. 4)Do the air box Mod - mild or wild - still keeping the basic look though. 5)Drill air-screw plug out, and bottom screw then turn 2 2/3 turns out. 6)Do primary adjustment - preferably sound method - on the loose side. 7)Make a splitter or buy one - http://scaryfastracing.net/harley.html - see carb tkv. 8)Buy an Yost Tube and put it in your carb - Ebay has them cheap for a CV40 - 2000 era - discard the rest of kit. Eight simple things to increase the delivery of power on a Buell Blast - making it even more of a Blast to ride! EZ (Message edited by ezblast on July 17, 2010) | ||

#1 seems a bit vague.  | ||

Thank you - fixed! EZ | ||

Directly across from the stock exhaust outlet on the muffler? The way the nose of the muffler is shaped will make it hard to get a good hole cut into it. Won't the pressure of the air moving across a hole in the nose of the muffler at driving speeds pressurize it and make it harder for exhaust to escape? | ||

The back of the muffler where the other hole is already cut - on that face , on the opposite side - lol - making a duel outlet - lol - one to each side. EZ (Message edited by ezblast on October 24, 2008) | ||

This forum really needs Sticky posts, photos and youtube videos of all this valuable information. I would be more than willing to help, but I'm not willing to do some of these things to my bike  I plan on doing the Primary adjustment soon, so I can photo / video that one maybe. | ||

Already done on another forum - that's why I know all of this works well in turning your mild mannered Blast into a Blast! EZ | ||
| Evilbetty |
Awesome! What forum is all of this on? It would sure help some of us visualize these adjustments and modifications! | ||

I'll PM you a link - Blake doesn't like links to other competing Buell forums on this one and I respect that. EZ | ||
| Johnnymac |
Hey Ed, please PM me that link also.  I thought I knew most of the blast forums but I don't recall seeing that kind of stuff on the ones I belong to already. | ||
| Evilbetty |
Understood, Thanks EZ! | ||
| Jetlee |
Could I get that link as well, EZ? Why not Blake host some vids and pics, as well? | ||
| Ezblast |
Well folks - these mods work - I hope your enjoying them - lol - Blake is looking into it - its all behind scenes right now. EZ | ||

Yep, they work great. I've done the first six and the gains were noticeable. Only thing I'd add is throw in a K&N filter while you're at it. I've got the splitter made too, but not installed right now. I had other carb issues, so I took it off. I'll get it back on, but no hurry, its too cold to ride. | ||
| Ezblast |
Yeah - it was a chilly 56 here today - practically freezing for a Cali guy - lol - I actually think the new Buell Blast air filters - if kept clean will flow as good as a K&N - maybe even a tad better - the trick would be to keep it clean. EZ |
