So over the weekend I fitted a different end can to the bike, as show on the 'headlight finished' thread, and I fitted a K&N. Now the can flows VERY well, and when I fitted the K&N I hole sawed 3 holes in the airbox. (possible oops. I was careful to put some drainage in the bottom though).
Now she runs really badly, she's obviously not getting enough fuel as she bogs down all the time. I'm being extremely gentle, as I have owned cars where DET is a proper problem, and I know what running lean can do to her. I don't want to replace an engine, afterall!
I spoke to a garage earlier who do bike setups etc, and after describing a few things, they said 'you'll need a dynojet kit, that'd be £125 on top of setting up'. To which I thought 'GULP'.
Has anyone got any advice? I'm prepared to buy a dynojet kit, but fit it myself and then possibly get it tweaked later - I am mechanically proficient. But I can't afford to be shelling out lots of money.
Could there be something else causing it to run so lean? It's never been fantastic, always a very dead through the mid range until about 7K, where it really opened up.
