actually ive found the best power to be leaning out the top and richin up the middle, basicaly reverse what the epa did to them. ive unless your runing a full exuast and individual filters ive never heard of an f2 motor doing better by going up on the mains. thats why all the jet kits for it come with smaller jets than factoryhttp://www.dynojet.com/pdf/1740.pdf

Well, I started out pretty lean to begin with, of course this bike is over 15 years old, who knows what''s been done to it previously.

But I took the jet needles up a notch from center and it helped, dropped them back down to center and it hurt. That says it''s lean.

actually i got mine bottomed out with a shim underneath. ur needles work best like that because ur mains are way richer than mine which is what i was talking about in the first place

my jeting suggestions are for a stock/piped bike and its worked well.

Not to knock Dynojet, but I checked out Factory Pro a bit before I started tuning, and believe it or not, there is a tech line that is actually answered by somebody who knows their stuff. Told me how to go about testing, jetting, and some initial settings based on my mods to get me there quicker. Based on my performance at the track, it was dead on, then I went and screwed it up by cutting my muffler (which I did for the look and the fit, not for the sound). I''ve been very tempted to get their 1.7 Pro Kit which requires a bit of machine work, and I PLAN to get their trans detent arm and Evo shift star kit.
