Pods are kiss of death on these but people just keep trying. The banging head against the wall thing, it's built into our DNA. Having said that I've gotten good result with 75-110/115 in some cases (with header). DON'T mess with the needle, no need and a mistake. I don't care WHAT the Dynojet kits say. To begin with not their bike it's yours, once they have your money they don't care any more. Pods with stock exhaust? Please, spare me, you just detuned.
You (and about 500,000 other DOHCers) need to realize that the stock airbox is needed to make best power, the engine doesn't care that you think pods look cool. The OEM CV type carbs open best and most when they have a slight vacuum behind them (other reasons too), pods lose that. The engine condition as well feeds into pods working or not in a degree that cannot be overstated, less engine means the carbs automatically open less and then the problems begin. Meaning, valves and rings must seal and WELL, or pods will be hell. When you pod generally the engine will go RICHER (engine condition I just mentioned) and most think leaner and how they get so lost richening up to make it even worse. Literally none have tight engines now but just try to tell them that when they are so convinced it runs so damn great when bike won't fall out of a tree.
Sorry and no insult intended or implied, but it is what it is................if you can't hit close to 170 psi compression you will most likely not be happy with them. Plenty other people been here before and most not liking it. I was happy with mine but they make no more power at all, you're doing well by not losing any. Mine ran virtually the same 1/4 mile times either way.
