re-jetting needed?
« on: June 22, 2017, 11:54:51 PM »
good day,
I have been riding my cb750 k2 for over a month and today I went back to ride my Bmw r80/7 and
i have noticed a huge difference in maximum speed and overall performance.
my cb750 is definitely slower.
i have synced the carbs but not fully understood how to set the air mixture the same for all 4.
also I have replaced the standard air filter for K&H (like) stacks and gone to a 4-2 exhaust system but kept the stock jets..
would i see any difference in changing their size.
if yes, what size?
Thanks

Yes, increasing the jet size is necessary running stack or pod filters. As they are more free flowing than a stock filter set up the decreased resistance means it pulls less fuel through the jets, and gives a weaker mixture. Every bike will behave differently to given changes, so it's trial and error until it runs as best as it can with the filter/exhaust combination. What size jets are you currently running?

If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

A U.K. K2 should have 115 as stock, so you're way too small at the moment!

Try 4, then you've still got the needles to give you play either side. How has it been riding up to now? Does it feel starved of oomph?

It rides fine, I have tried to go very fast but as I said its much less responsive than my other bike. (Bmw r80)
Would reJetting make any difference?

Looks like you're going to have to do this by trial and error, so you probably need to order both +4 and +6. After finding best full throttle performance you'll them more than likely need to adjust needle height, then pilot adjuster and maybe even pilot jet. A lot of work on a four.
I don't know which jets this model uses, but I got my last jets from wemoto and I've also used allensperformance.
