Mikuni and a Uni for the Bandit
So I just got the carb in the mail yesterday, and was not expecting the filters until early next week, but the filters turned up this morning.
I attached some pictures of the carb. I just wanted to make sure it looks like the right one. I am pretty confident it is, but always better safe than sorry! Also, I forgot to get myself some uni oil, so I will need to go to the motorcycle parts store, and wanted to get some jets while I am there. Considering that my house is just under 5,000 feet, I got the 4" 15 degree Uni, and the exhauxst will likely be staying stock for now , what size jets should I get? (unless anyone has some muffler modification advice, Weld? Won't have funds for a spark arrestor for a few more weeks.) I just cracked it open, and it came with the what I expected from reading around, a 100 main and 20 slow. Now I know a lot of you are running something in the neighborhood of 120 and 25, but do I need to, or should I even be going that high since I am at higher altitude, especially with the exhaust being stock for now? Or would I be better off at that with a middle step somewhere between 100-120 and 20-25? Also what are the yamaha jets that I am looking for the work with these guys? On a side note I have another question that didn't seem to warrant a new thread for now so I will toss it on here. I went to check my valve clearance the other day and COULD NOT get the valve cap to come out once I got the bolts out. I tried every which way and it did not want to clear the frame . Is it possible that I am going to have to drop my engine to check my clearances? If so can I rock it on one of the lower bolts or do I need to take it out completely? She sounds fine right now, definitely not quite so no tight valves! So not a huge rush I don't think, but I am sure I will be getting miles on her in no time and need to do it soon enough.... On ANOTHER side note I am off to finish up dipping those panels right now.... I will post pictures once I get the carbs switched and get all the plastics back on |
