I understand what you are saying......but I doubt that you have enough experience to be able to tune an engine by smell. :poke2: :biggrin:
If the air filter is still stock, you will know when you change it over to k&N. If the bike continues to run really good, it has been jetted already (likely) because a more open front end usually makes a LOT more difference than the pipes do.
Many change pipes without re-jetting. Almost nobody changes pipes AND air filter without doing it because it usually runs like crap......especially when not fully warmed up. |
well i have that k&N filter, gonna throw it back in there and and see what happens,
when running just aftermarket pipes it calls for a 132 main jet, when you have aftermarket pipes and aftermarket air filter it calls for either a 150 or a 155 main jet.
it does smell like its getting a little more gas than it was so that is a good sign, no you cant tune a engine by smell but it can give you some kind of indications, usually if your running rich you can smell that its running rich and so on so it does give you a idea of whats going on.
does not like the k&N but it runs much better with it in than it did before, last time i had it in it lost all torque in the mid and higher rpm's this time i just lost torque at the higher rpm's only took it out for a min and came right back.. it was already warmed up
