[QUOTE="palmer69, post: 679137, member: 38133"] Great banter guys! Well I did it today, I laid down the dough for the KG-35. I got a good price for the pipe but the O-rings cost me $11.72 each!! Guess they made a little back on the pipe price! My bike is a '98 and was totally stock when I got it last year. After following along on this site for the past 6 mos. or so and reading all the posts on the importance of jetting etc., I started my jetting/mod journey. I've settled on a 155 main, 45 pilot, stock needle and 3rd clip position. I yanked the snorkel and drilled two one inch holes in my airbox. Stock pipe and silencer (for now!), boyesen 607s and Fredette torque ring. I did all the mods in a day. Just slapped it all together and went for it. Not really. I actually tried to approach it in a somewhat systematic way. Here's the order that I did the mods and the seat of the pants results: 0) STOCK - Loads up when idling around. Takes a few seconds to clear before decent throttle response is restored. Pulled good and hard in all gears on the top end. Third gear wheelies, fourth too with a little pull on the bars. 1) Drilled two one-inch dia. holes in airbox, left snorkel in-place. No real noticable difference. Maybe a bit more mid hit, but naahh... I don't know 2) Pilot change - my bike was loading up and bogging when I cracked the throttle after putting around for just a few seconds. This was largely fixed with the pilot change. More responsive off idle, required AS diddling. 3) Main jet and reeds - whoops, two mods at once, couldn't resist. Definitely more responsive off idle. Much less prone to loading when putting around. Mid and top end unchanged. 4) Torque ring - deeper exhaust note, growly, when accelerating off idle. Feels torquier down way low. Wheelies even easier in first gear. Noticably flatter at the high mid range to high end. Doesn't want to loft the front like it did before in 3rd gear. 5) Snorkel yanked - A lot louder. No noticable difference in performance. This bike the way it is now is, in my humble opinion, a great tight woods bike. It does everything I ask of it in the tight trails. I really like it. I have lost quite a bit on the high end however. So, now I'll add the KG-35 pipe and pull the torque ring. I'm keeping the stock silencer for now. Hopefully this will retain most if not all of the low end and fill the high end gap. [/QUOTE]
