Pilot jets ???

[hazey1275]

Does anyone know where i can get aftermarket pilot jets (possibly 175's) and also the 3mm washers for shimming the carbs?????
I've been reading some carb set ups off one of the links from the main page and would like to have a go at trying some different setups

cheers Hazey1275 :D

Do you mean 17.5 piolt jets? the UK spec SV has these already :wink: Be careful when reading jetting from US sites as the carbs have differant parts, like the needles which are notched so you don't need shims persay, you only need one to give you a half step between the notches :wink: but you can use the washer above the needle for this 8)

Here is a scan of the Suzuki workshop manual for the SV

E-02 is UK, E-33 is California and E-03 is the rest of the US :wink:

Forgive the copy of the scan, its been a well used book 8)

Thanks for the help... :D i just wanted to try some different set ups with the main jets that i brought from your goodself..... Do you think its worth trying the drilled slide holes????

I was also wondering if anyone had tried running the sv with the universal k&n type cone filters?

All these things to consider whilst me bike is still in pieces :?

I've drilled the slide holes, finding the right bit can be a pain :?

Cone/pod filters are out of my league, i think it needs mega sized jets though :shock:

Huuuuuuge jets, in the 200s! Plus, with really good filters you need to modify the main air jets (these are pressed in so you can only drill them) and the float hrights as well. Hassle :)

I think i will stick with that desnorkled filter that i brought off you with the jets then, thanks for the advice :D

Nothwind have you managed to find the doc with the rear speedo drive conversion yet? I have tried to work it out but get as far as holding the drive in one hand and looking at the rear wheel....lol

cheers

Oh, balls. Sorry, I'd forgotten. Again. Do me a favour and send me a rude PM, or I'll forget again :roll:

[hazey1275]

I've sent you a pm prepare to be shocked........lol

ive been thinking of getting universal cone filters on my sv aswell, but like others said, you need really large jets. is there any other crab that could be fitted?? going thoruhg streetfighter magazine it looks like a lot of the tuned machines in there use carbs of different bikes. any clues to which might fit and have the right jet sizes??

and also anyone know the diameter of the carbs?? although a rubber reducer could be used from the carb to the engine.

Really can't see a lot of benefit... Considering changing jets costs a few quid, compared with however much for different carbs. The SV carbs are pretty decent as it is, and well matched to the manifolds too. Just sleeving down larger ones would have flow issues I think.

You could fit a set of flatsides :twisted:

My experience of using individual filters is pretty bad. The airbox has a job to do and I'm of the opinion that it's just not worth taking it off and the thing being a pig to ride unless it's a nice day. As for jet size, you'd need it set up on a dyno anyway, and I second what Windy said about air jets.

A decent filter and set up (Jets/Dyno) is all you need. Its throwing good money after nothing.
