Default Stage one Tips

I've got a 2005 Sporty Roadster 1200, Stock.
I am starting to do a Stage One on it.
Going with Python Slip ons, Hypercharger, and possibly a Dynojet carb kit.

When I do the carb/Dynojet work, will I also need to replace the low end jets(like with a 45 size). I have always had problems with carb farts, and lags from the low end.

And any help, tips, advice, and pitfalls to watch out for will help.

Thanks to all in Advance,

Randy Brandon

Go to Harley Performance. They do a very good job at explaining rejetting and carburetor tuning. Follow their advice and you should have a strong running engine.

I suggest you make that a 'definitely'! The sounds you mention are probably because the bike is already running lean, so needs help now and will definitely need help after your mods.

You really dont need a Dynojet kit !

You can duplicate the results cheaper.

Hypercharger ? Why ?

If you like like the looks thats fine but there are others that work better.
