in the right direction?

at parts direct they said raise my needle one clip so i took my needle out and raised it up the needle but it doesnt seem right ot me it seems like i just droppedthe needle farther in the bowl shouldnt i have lowered it to get it out of the bowl some or how does the needle work?

[chucked]

raise your needle means lower the clip, making it richer...

raising the clip means lowering the needle, making it leaner...

I think you need to lower the clip/raise the needle

[cals400ex]

yes, if you have performance mods on the bike there is a good chance you need to lower the needle clip one position

[hardkoratvmxr]

i had the clip in the in the stock middle position and i moved it up lowering the needle.so r u telling me i should have moved it down one raising the needle?

[hardkoratvmxr]

this is what i think i did

Lift needle 1 clip position

so i moved it from the stock position to the second from the top

[2muchquad]

yup,raise the needle(richens)

[hardkoratvmxr]

so did i do it right

it says to lift needle clip one position so i moved it from the middle slot to the second one from the top so i did it right? or not?

[2muchquad]

no you have to go the other way.lookat the needle and go down.this will RAISE it.u feel me?

[hardkoratvmxr]

i understand now and oes this make it richer or what

[hardkoratvmxr]

no, move the clip down 2, I usually just use needle nose pliers to get it off.
