When buying jets do not forget the pilot jets (also known as low speed jets). Sometimes lean mixture problems from using pod filters can be cured by getting bigger pilots. Also, contrary to popular belief, there are incidents in which one needs to go down a jet size or two when changing over to pod filters. Case in point: I have read many articles by BMW specialists which say pod filters on an airhead (boxer twin air cooled engine) can not be made to work. When going to pods on my R80 BMW I had to go down several jet sizes on both the main and pilot jets which made my bike run excellent. I think my result has something to do with increased speed of the air being sucked into the carb along with the reversion effect of the intake valve closing bouncing off the end of the pod filter and creating a secondary induction wave which would also draw more fuel. Or........ I may be full of shit and not really know why it happens.
