    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Thanks
    without knowing how fucked your head/piston/rings are and how gunked up your exhaust system is, it's difficult to say.

    what is easy to say is that you'll be drawing 300% (ish) more air than you were before. which would indicate a 300% (ish) increase in fuel going through, and a 293.7% increase in required muffler throughput. you MIGHT get it by clipping your needle a couple down, but more likely to require a bigger main.

    get it to it!

    Yeah its easy to say that, but totally wrong. I mean not even close. Not even in the ball park.

    What the hell are you on? I mean if you were passing 3x the air you would have to be running a truck supercharger & expect a life of the engine to be 1/2 a revolution.

    Any way you wash it, why do you give such advice when you clearly don't have a flippin clue?

    On top of that the needle advice is only going to affect partial throttle opening. At WFO throttle position only the MJ will matter a damn.

    If I appear rude, its only because I can't think of any other way to put it.

    do you think anyone, round here takes me seriously??, let alone when i'm (fairly clearly?) exercising my hyperbolic license?
    and incase you didn't read about 3 posts back, i did suggest going up a couple of jet sizes to get him to where he can fine tune his shit.

    you think this guy's so hero he's going wfo straight off a build?

    chill bro. give me your wife's number, i'll tell her you need a BJ.

    Well I think a pod may possibly flow 300% better than the airbox, I'm pretty sure it wont pump 300% more air into the engine. lol.

    Don't worry I can sort the fact from the lols. I grew up working on cars, I've just moved onto bikes now

    Turns out the floating pad has probably worn out and fell out

    Hahaha couldn't agree more. I've got one of these little shitters (but not for much longer) and like people say, they're built to their price. In saying that, mine's still running and despite their horrible appearance, disgusting fairings, spoke wheels, terrible drum brake, tiny rear tyre etc. they can be fun to ride around on, just gotta wind them up to red-line is all... So good on ya for making it look less terrible, they're really not the worst bikes around and can be surprisingly nippy if you ring the shit out of them
