Hi guys.

So I now have the theory of what I want to do to my bike, but run into a lack-of-experience issue. If I were to get the Dynojet kit...

Can someone with as little mechanical knowledge as I have do the re-jetting and carb mods unassisted? Or would it be advisable to get someone with experience to do it?

Does the carb need to be taken off the bike to do the work, or is it a case of removing seat and tank and playing with the carb in-situe?

Are there any particularly tricky bits and special tools needed?

Thanks for your advice in advance.

 

It best to go ahead and remove the carb. But it doesn't have to be removed. You can do the needle and spring through the top of the carb. For the main jet and idle mixture, the carb will need to be tilted to one side.

You can easily do the carb yourself. Just take your time and double check your work. One thing to be cautious about is the diaphram rubber seal. It is very thin and flexes easily. So really make sure you do have the seal seated properly. Everything else is easily done with basic tools.

 

Hi Arctra its pretty simple just take your time dont rush and be carefull.. dont lose any parts and btw what jet size are you putting in?

 

Go for it, you can do it! This is the only way to cure your lack-of-experience issue. Work slow, organized, clean, and methodical. If something goes wrong or you get stuck, we will help you figure it out. Once you survive this you will then be more experienced and more willing to tackle bigger projects in the future.

 

Oh ya, something else to add to that line. Don't lose parts down the intake. Might be a pain to retive it.

 

I still have no effing idea how a carb works and I've done my KLX and most recently my KTM.

Both ran awesome after the mod

Go for it. There's a great thread in here with pics and wise words here somewhere on how to do it.
