Hi everybody! I'm new here so be gentle. I recently got a blast from a co-worker and I love it! after doing some research on this fantastic site, I've come up with a plan to modify my blast- got a couple of questions though: 1) want to rejet my carb with a 50/175 combo: is this too rich on the pilot? would i be able to adjust the a/f screw to make it acceptable? 2) i already posses a carbon fiber yoshi pipe and was thinking about modding up a custom 1-off deal to mount it where the stock one goes- think i can get away with that? | ||

Jnote, Sounds like questions for EZ, Swampy and gearhead. Glad you are liking the Blast and welcome. John | ||

50 on the slow jet is way to rich | ||

kinda what i thought- dont think i could adjust it down w/ the air fuel ratio screw? only reason i ask is i already have one that was given to me... will go buy a 48 if i must... | ||

48 might work after the pipe is installed, but 45 would be better. Jets are cheep, approx $3.00 and can be found at every bike place. The carb is a Keihin CV 40mm carburetor and is used by a lot of bikes and manufactures. | ||

very well, the sensei has spoken! you dont think i'll have any issues with the yoshi pipe idea? ( other than a jap part on an american bike(slight cringe!)) | ||

the main purpose of the a/f screw is for idle a/f adjustment. | ||

Josh! You guys are good! If you have a stock pipe drill a 1.5 inch hole on the opposite side of the stock muffler from the stock outlet, cheap noise, it shortens the exhaust tract a little. However, any other exhaust set up easily weighs 1/3 of what the stock muffler is, so anything would be improvement weight wise verses the stock. I think they built it that way as a good bash plate for the engine, possible for future use on the Griffen(Tounge in cheek) | ||

thanks guys, i'll get a 45 jet for the slow and upload some pics when everything is done- might be a couple weeks b4 i get to it- no clue what a custom pipe to the yoshi is gonna run so i'd like to be prepared for the worst. i wanna put it on for weight reduction (about a 3 lb pipe), so i'm not gonna drill the stock out (yet, anyways). ride safe! |
