|  Recomended mods if you have an extra $10
I decided to do some tweaking to the carbs over my winter break this year and am very happy with the results i got. Heres what i did: 1. desnorkled air filter 2. rejetted to 152.5 mains and 17.5 pilots 3. 2 shimms under jet needle 4. 2.5 turns out on air/fuel screw 5. installed tank spacers from Ace Hardware (not sure if they do anything, but they look cool) My bike hits hard in the midrange now and revs a bit quicker. It only costs $10 for the jets if you order from Parts Unlimited and the shimms are just washers you can get a Ace for $.06. The tank spacers are also from Ace and they are about $4 and are called collar locks. If anyone else is interested in doing this here's the site i used: Rejet sv650 carbs quickly and easily for $10.00 It has a walk through of everything i did with pics and a video. Some things to note: 1. this only applies to 1st gen SV's (99-02) 2. It is not recomended to desnorkle without having a full exhaust system 3. If you do not have a washable air filter, i would'nt desnorkle bc you literally get thousands of plastic shavings all over the filter. I had to wash my K&N 5 times to get all the shavings out Heres some pics:   I also installed some dual headlights. I still need to paint the speedo and tach covers  |
