also is it me or is it just easier to work on this bike by pulling the tank when u need to work on it ?

Well, I was gonna help you out, but I don't have anything bigger than a 125. I know that without even looking.

I always pull the tank. If for nothing else, it gives you more space to work. I hate trying to cram my finger tips around corners just to grab the end of a bolt or something. Plus, it only takes maybe 15-30 seconds of extra time.

If your shop is weird about it, I would just go down a generic bike shop and have them open their box of main jets... (they have to have one or else they don't know what they are doing.)

If it looks like this, and has a number stamped on it, it will work.

i just bought a 130 but they normally dont have them in stock around here they always have to special order them it takes a week and they charge me for a set of 4 most of the time, which can get extremely expensive really quick.

[jonathan180iq]

What are they charging you a set? I mean, jets are like $3 a pop, retail.
What a load of crap. Find a new place, man.

there is only two bike shops in the area and cycleworld is one and the other si a local and they both have the same policy

I had #130 in mine and they cost me $2.75 a piece. :cool:

Johnathan didn't you attempt a similar set up on your bike what did you have in there ?

In all likelyhood a $3 sale costs the shop money. Any profit would be used up in paperwork. But I do agree with the sale of only one item to satisfy the customer. Try getting 3 spokes for the rear wheel of a GZ. You have to buy the entire spoke kit which is 36 spokes. You don't want to know what that costs in the GWN.

I had stock exhaust and a pod air filter. I was good with a 122.5 or a 125, I don't recall 100%.
One shim on the needle and just a slight turn on idle screw. I was lucky to get it locked in so quick, but just didn't notice an improvement that would allow me to push the mod on the masses.
