after market cans

[pikeman]

Hi all,

Does the vtr need any rejetting, etc when you add after market cans? My Vstrom 1000 definatly needed a power commander to sort the fuelling if you changed the cans.

not unless you have also fitted a k&n (or similar) air filter.

Check with the manufature first. Some after market cans boast they don't need read jetting, others claim you can benifit from rejetting. If you get a race can you must rejet.

I am runing a pair of Micron race cans with standard filter and the bike does not need re jetting, plugs do not show any signs of lean running and the fuelling seems spot on.

I've always dyno'd my bikes with aftermarket cans/performance parts.

For the cost it's worth checking and you know how much it's chucking out

I had a base run done the other week (unbaffled stubbies) - and I am ever so slightly lean - which I intend to sort, as Bennhedges suggests, by raising the needles 1 clip....

Only cans I've fitted to the 'storm that haven't required a re jet are the ones from Fuel Exhausts. Even then I took it with a pinch of salt that they wouldn't need doing. Was pleasantly surprised. The Leo race cans I had were a pig.
