ok i bought my bike pre modded 2 years ago. he didnt tell me what jetting he put in. i need to rejet. how can i tell what im running right now, are they labeled? my throttle is kinda doggy in bottom end and mid range but top end its fine i spose. i put a k&n filter on, did some airbox mod's, and put the stock pipe back on (old megamax2 broke). what do you think i can do to help this? please reply i am stuck

Yes, most of the jets i have seen are actually labeled. You just need to pull your carb and take a look. Your best bet, since you have done a few air flow mods, is to run just a little higher than your factory jets are.

the highr up you are above sea level you are, the thinner the air , so if you were jetted correctly at sea level and wet to 3000 ft above sea level you would be running rich

well, if possible, replace the broken pipe wit a new one, that way, ul lean it out if its boggin around, and it will be close to correct jettin

Yeah since you replaced the tailpipe with the stock tailpipe, You may be running rich. In my opinion, the Jet Kit is a waste of money. You get stuck with a lot of jets that you paid for, yet, you don't end up using! I would open the carb and see what size jets you currently have a then buy two jet sizes up and down from your current sizes you are running now. That should cover you in all aspects of elevation, etc......
