Probably something else wrong... but putting on pod filters without a jet kit is... frankly... not too bright.

The engine is already too lean, you just made it a lot worse.

Sorry... I don't remember picking on you before but it doesn't surprise me if I did, given your comments above.  You basically called the guy stupid (not so bright), so I decided to call you out.  Would you like someone to call you stupid?

Damn, if you think that was an insult, you definitely need to get out more...
It wasn't a smart move and Paul simply said so. Lighten up.

  The motor is starving for fuel. Do you know what size main to put in now when your kit arrives? What generation Bandit? There should be enough folks here in the forum that has made the same changes (any other changes, like exhaust?)on the same generation to give you a starting point. Then I would run it and check the plug to see how it looks.

Hope that works out for you... the DJ is is the least popular and seems to be the most difficult to tune right.  The Holeshot, Ivans & Factory Pro kits have better customer satisfaction - and support, should you need it.

Sorry, but I don't agree with your assessment of PaulVS's post. What Paul did was point out that the IDEA of installing the pod filters was "not too bright". Smart people have "not too bright" ideas all the time. History is full of important ideas/decisions that were made by smart people that, thought through thoroughly, would have been binned before they were implemented. The pod filters thing is another example of too much enthusiasm and not enough experience. Happens every day.

Thanks guys.  It certainly wasn't meant as an insult....  Lord knows I'm in the Gold-Medalist category of A-Lifetime-Worth-Of-Not-So-Bright-Ideas.   :grin:

I'm also with Red... the Dynojet kit isn't the best way to go with Pod filters.  As he stated... the Holeshot Stage 2 and Factory Pro Stage 2 are specifically designed for pods.

I am running pods and a Dynojet stage 3 kit on my '03 B12. Installed it all myself with zero experience beforehand and just simply followed the instructions. Runs like a champ and I have nothing but praise for the DJ kits.
