Had the dyna for a while now and I think it's time to upgrade to stage one. For a long time I didn't know what it even meant. But with a little research I think it's worth it.

I already have a TH, and I need to find a good air filter (think ill get a forward facing k&n air filter). But when it comes to the carb tuner kit, I need to do some more research and see if some are better than others.

Is there any maintenance I can do while the carbs are apart, aside from cleaning? I'm going to swap out most the cracked tubing, the bike is a 99 and fresh lines will do good. Also the choke cable wont tighten any more and I'll be replacing that. My accelerator diaphragm was already replaced 2K miles ago.

I figured after I get the air filter and carb kit, ill get it tuned. Or should I upgrade anything else before I do?

 

Use a dyna jet kit or similar but stay away from the plastic slides. A K&N stock filter replacement will work as well as any other and be way cheaper too.

Check float level in the carby while its apart and radius the front edge of the slide to improve airflow.

 

Sounds like you have a good plan, I'd go with a dyno jet kit too. That's what I did on my 2005.

 

I wouldn't go with a dynojet kit - complete waste of money. You will get as good or better results with swapping out the stock jets for the standard stage-1 ones of a 45 pilot and 185 main.

The dynojet kit will set you back $100+ and using the jets instead maybe $10.

The dynojet kits always rely on throwing fuel at the engine and so running unnecessarily rich i.e. your MPG will suffer much more than needed.

 

I'll have to read up about it and use this little search button. I'll try to find parts on JP cycles?
