Take my needle jet setting. I started at the 4th notch because experience and wisdom say to always start on the rich side of things. After warming it up, setting the idle mixture, and then going for a ride, if i tried to hold a steady 1/4 to 1/2 throttle the bike would lightly bog, pop, and "snarl" like it was getting too much fuel. I confirmed this by simply rolling the throttle open and it cleaned up and started pulling very strongly almost immediately. That's a good indicator of being a bit too rich. If it would have hesitated and then took off, that would be lean. Even the tone of the noises it was making were a good clue. Rich bog/hesitation just feels "heavy" but generally smoother because the fuel is so heavy it just isn't igniting properly, while lean hesitation is almost herky-jerky feeling as the fuel spikes and dips. Another good indicator of the needle being rich would be the exhaust smelling of fuel with a half throttle neutral rev. Since I add a little MMO to my fuel to help lubricate the carb parts it actually makes it easier to detect a rich smell since MMO actually changes the smell of the fuel slightly.

It's the burned MMO vapors, they give you magical powers.

The camera being off kilter kinda bugs me, and my transition between the two clips didn't really work at all and actually cut the first one short, but hey. I will get the hang of it eventually lol

So you are running much larger jets than on your old Hawk? 140 on the pilot? What causes this change from 117?

My carb is a bit odd. Pilot is a keihin sized 45 that is a little too small. Main is a Mikuni 125. What caused the big leap in jetting? Head work.

Video is fine Dan. It does exactly what it supposed to do. Getting information out about your Hawk and mods. You're not going for the Academy award are you? lol

It does sound awesome! And good job on the motovlog. Lots of information and no dead air time. Hate it when they just ride paved roads and don't say anything.
Do you think the 65ml oil cooler could be mounted in the same manner as your big one? And I wouldn't be against drilling some big holes in the rear of the fender. |

Drill away! As you can see in this pic, Q comes with a vented fender for cooling.
