Dave_D · 09-09-2014, 02:58 PM

Agree. I've actually bought a few larger items at ladysmith Motorsport. Usually more then helpful. And reasonably priced
I got haileys helmet there

Dave_D · 09-20-2014, 12:47 AM

Wooohoo
Jets have finally arrived
I'm not sure when I'll get to swapping it out. But will be before next ride for sure.
I haven't taken it out since the first ride with the pipe.
I can't wait to ride again Won't be this weekend though. Going fishing

Pic cause I love pics

Dave_D · 09-21-2014, 01:11 PM

Woke up this morning before everyone and went outside and jetted the bike.
(Fishing trip canceled)
I did not get any pics as I was trying to get it done quick
Looks like someone's been in the carb before. Stripped bowl screws

Got into it though. What a pain had to remove seat. Battery box. Air filter.
Pilot was a 40. Swapped to 42.5
Main was a 130 swapped to 135

Going riding at about noon today can't wait to try it out.
I started the bike up and it was warm. RIGHT NOW
Throttle response seems a lot crisper.
Need to get it out if the yard and really test it

I hope those jet sizes work for you, and I hope you had a great ride today.

I always swap bowl screws for stainless socket head cap screws. Much better than stinkin' phillips.

SpudRider · 09-21-2014, 08:14 PM

X2 on everything Weld said.

Dave_D · 09-21-2014, 10:19 PM

Well looks like I need to try the 140 main jet I got. Still extremely lean.
White plug still. And falls on its face at WOT sputtering ect.

Wonder if old jet was drilled out. But I doubt it.
I'll be trying the 140 next

Dave

Weldangrind · 09-22-2014, 11:07 AM

Wow! That new muffler must really let it breathe.

Dave_D · 09-22-2014, 11:29 AM

Looked at original jet doesent look drilled or anything

Yea maybe the pipe along with the drilled air box.
I just hope I don't need to order bigger then 140 lol
Oh well guess we'll find out

Dave

Weldangrind · 09-22-2014, 11:55 AM

Can you find jets bigger than 140? If not, you could always mail the small ones to me, and I'll drill them to whatever you wish.

Dave_D · 09-22-2014, 01:01 PM

Sounds good. I think there are larger ones. But just seems like a lot of money lol
Might take you up on that if the 140 doesent work out

Dave

Dave_D · 09-23-2014, 09:56 PM

No update on the jetting yet. Might bring the bike to work Friday and swap the main out during breaks.

But I got home today to a box on the kitchen table

Fuel petcock arrived

It looks pretty good

I can't decide if I'm going to swap it out yet. No leaks from one on bike at all this weekend. Might wait and see if I have an issue again.

Thanks

Dave

Weldangrind · 09-24-2014, 01:56 AM

That looks identical to the one i just received. Turn the valve to main, blow in the hose nipple and see which tube the air comes out of. If it comes out of the tall brass tube, it's correct.

I removed the plastic bits, and I'll use an inline filter instead.

Ok, the dog removed the plastic bits, but I forgive her.

Weldangrind · 09-24-2014, 01:57 AM

BTW, if the brass tube is in the wrong spot, it can certainly be relocated.

pete · 09-24-2014, 03:07 AM

Your TTR225 now has jets the same size as my TTR250 dose...
Mine has GYTR tail pipe / 125mm shorter header / opened up air box
& twin air filter...

What make is the carb ?....Teiki ?

Dave_D · 09-24-2014, 10:44 AM

Excellent idea weld. I'll check tgat before installing it.

Pete. From my reaserch I'm pretty sure it's a mikuni bst34
