Tony@altitude Posted December 17, 2004 I need some help! My bike bogs when hitting the throttle, especially when you turn it quickly. I have a Twin Air filter and I've drilled a few holes on the top of the airbox. My jetting is 148 main, 45 pilot, needle in the 4th position, screw is a good 2 1/2 turns out. This was suggested by my Honda dealer. Any suggestions on getting rid of the bog? Thanks, Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skipn8r Posted December 17, 2004 I'm at 5,300 ft with a completely stock '05 X. I'm running the stock 40 slow jet, a 145 main jet, stock needle at 2nd clip position (1 leaner than stock) and 2-1/2 turns out on the pilot screw. Mine seems a little rich, but I'm working on it. Your settings sound a bit on the rich side for a 6,000 ft relatively stock bike. What is your leak jet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony@altitude Posted December 17, 2004 My leak jet must be stock. I need to learn more about the various jetting changes and how it effects the various power curves. I had stock jetting, set for California, and the bike was slow and didn't want to start. Now the bikes faster, I just need to address the bog! Thanks for your help.

skipn8r Posted December 17, 2004 A couple of good sites that can help: Rick Ramsey is at altitude in Colorado and has a mildly uncorked X. Thumperfaq is a Yamaha site but has good info on the FCR carb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
