HEY I JUST JOINED AND WANTED TO SAY WHUTS UP TO EVERYBODY! I JOINED CAUSE I SEE A LOT OF YOUR BIKES HAVE BEEN PRETTY TRICKED OUT, AND I'M HAVING SOME PROBLEMS GETTING MINE TUNED IN.
I HAVE AN 02 BLAST WITH A K&N FILTER TO REPLACE THE STOCK FILTER AND A VANCE & HINES EXHAUST KIT AND THE JET KIT FROM VANCE & HINES (BUT REALLY A DYNOJET KIT).
ALL I DID WAS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DRILL OUT THE PILOT JET, PUT THE CLIP ON THE 3RD NOTCH OF THE NEW NEEDLE AND REPLACE THE MAIN JET WITH A SMALLER ONE THAN STOCK ALLOWING LESS FUEL BUT MORE AIR ALLOWING THE BIKE TO RUN BETTER...NOT THE CASE IN MY SITUATION. IT STILL RAN LIKE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH FUEL SO I CALLED VANCE AND HINES AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO THE 4TH NOTCH AND CHANGE THE JET. BOTTOM LIKE IT STILL POPS AND FEELS SLOW ON TAKE OFF ANYONE BEEN THROUGH THIS OR DOES ANYONE HAVE THE SAME UPGRADES AND HAVE IT DIALED IN? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Did you adjust the idle mixture screw?

All caps are annoying.

I followed the instructions and drilled out the cap screwed it in all the way and then out two full turns

Have you been by the Blast (Thumper) specific part of the board yet?

If you're indeed lean, make sure you don't have an intake leak. The Blast is famous for developing leaks in the rubber coupling (heretofore known as the Intake Boot) between the carb and the intake manifold.

Stop by the thumper area. You'll get lotsa help.
