Maybe after market needle is way to go.

The seats on Kehins are not supposedly not replaceable but I ran across this : https://polariscarburetor.com/keihin-needle-seat-replacement-kawasaki-polaris/

Iam not sure on the replacement procedure but apparently it presses out of the housing.

You used to be able to buy the piece with the seat in it as a performance part with a bigger needle and seat separately but they are no longer made .

Also found this so apparently on a Polaris you can but just the metering block with the seat in it.. I would look really closely to make sure they are the same part.

Found an oem needle on ebay for 19.99. If that doesn't work I will give that SBT one a shot! And if that one doesn't work then might have to switch over to mikunis. =)

Thank you!

Anyone else have that issue where you install a bunch of stuff only to realize you missed something and have to pull it all back out.. I forgot the top nose foam...

Yamaha superjet gas tank strap fit perfectly. So no longer waiting on partzilla. Of course my sparkplug wires are about 4" too short.
JSS is a huge pain to work with so ordered the wires etc to do my own. Once I have new plug wires installed I'll be able to fire her up!

Replace 1 needle on a triple setup? Isn't that like changing 1 worn ball joint on the front end?

still not 100% that is the issue and at 20$ a needle I'll replace as needed.

The engine gets a lot bigger with the exhaust, intake, carbs and flame arrestors attached

 

[orangefinger]

well yes but still ....just so much room in there

The flame arrestors and exhaust on 1100's are not like flame arrestors and exhaust on a Superjet, they defiantly take up a lot of room.

In general the bolt on stuff for four stroke engines is way more compact than the two stroke stuff.

With everything installed. Just need a scale now for this whale. Have a R&d flame arrestor just need to find it.

Still room for a Tool Box and a Lunch Box

 

[orangefinger]

dam its like working on an old car....so much room , cant weight to hear the weight ....O)

Yeah its definitely not like trying to stuff one into a 650SX or an X2
