Re: fiddy dies when wheelie
wow, 65 mainjet? kinda big dontcha think? i run a full tbr pipe and k&n on mine, and i only have a 60 main.
that could be your problem right there, it's probably running very rich. i'd try leaning out the carb. i'd be willing to bet that'd fix it. if you don't have a bunch of jets laying around, try putting the stock one back in and see what it does then.
one of the guys i ride with has an all stock motor, stock pipe, and a k&n filter, with the stock mainjet, i opened up the mixture screw a lil bit, and it runs fine.
a 65 i.m.o. is way too big for a stock motor with the stock exhaust.

!! i bored out the stock jet straight to a 65 when i got it
so ill have to buy a new one soon as possible.is it possible to make the stock airbox run as good a airflow as a kn type filter? also do you recomend modding the exhaust, i mean will i notice the difference?
Re: fiddy dies when wheelie
Well, i have a tbr full exhaust, k&n, rev box, and a 60 mainjet, and top speed wise, it's not that much faster, deffinately has more grunt at lower revs though.
you bored the jet? how the hell did you do that? ANY movement by the jet or the drill would throw it way off. why not just buy a $2 main jet?

do you think the pipe makes the extra "grunt" cos thats what i wanna have low end power, and not too loud

Re: fiddy dies when wheelie
depending on your speed i dont know if your riding wide open
usually the symptoms you are talking about are cause by the float level being off main jet is working from 3/4 throttle to wide open no where else
when you drilled out the jet you may have messed up the float level id would check that also

Re: fiddy dies when wheelie
true, main jet is "technically" for 3/4 throttle and above, but an oversized mainjet will cause problems elsewhere in the rpm range also. you have to keep in consideration that the stock carb isn't a cv carb like on most fullsized carb'ed bikes, so main jet sizing is going to have more of an effect on overall performance, not just at bigger throttle openings. the needle/slide is opened directly with the throttle cable, not with vaccuum like on a cv carb.
but like z50 said, i'd check the float hieght while you've got the carb open, it's easy to bend the tab on the float if you're not carefull.
