Cobra Drags = rejet? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

2kMarauder · 04-01-2004, 09:14 PM

Hello everybody, i'm new to this board and i need some help. I've got a 2000 Suzuki Marauder 800, pretty much stock except Cobra slip on drags. My question is this: is it necessary to rejet my bike with the addition of these Cobra pipes? thanks a lot!

How's it ride/feel, if it seems ok then it probably is !

thanks for the feedback guys.

Uncle Bob-- it rides/feels alright but when the bike is starting to get warm, it seems to "cut out" for just a split second every once in a while. we checked the plugs' color and they are an off-white or tan color. i asked a local mechanic and he said it should be fine, but i wasnt sure.

thanks again!

2kMarauder, It is best to at least install a stage one jet kit when running a more free flowing exhaust than stock on these bikes and if any modifications to the air intake such as K&N filters or modifying the stock air filters, a stage two kit is recommend. These are lean running bikes by nature and changing the pipes or air box causes them to be too lean. I have an '03 Marauder w/stage one kit and Hard Krome 2-3/4" Big Straights on mine. Not to take anything away from this fine site, but take a look at this site for Marauders and Intruders http://forums.delphiforums.com/mig/start/ to find out pretty much all you want to know about Marauders.
