I would go with the Ivan's jet-kit. It's the best available. I can get them and he will provide me the proper jets for high elevation. I've done it before for guys in NM, CO, etc.

for me i wouldnt take that chance because the engine will run lean since you got the full system. i dont know how far or how long you will ride the bike. i would think it would run kinda crappy with out the jet kit. if you wanna ride that bad i would put on the stock exhaust just to be on the safe side.[/quote]stoneloco808 said:
How lean do you think it would run, doesn't run horribly bad, pulls stronger, but you do notice it needs the jet kit, every once in a while it will hesitate somewhat, and won't rev from idle to redline on WOT, it hesitates just tid at about 6k....ride or no ride? I'm trying to convince myself it will be okay for a few days..considering this is a nice day, and rare for here in this time of year

i cant say how lean it will run. running the bike in a lean condition will make the engine run hotter than usual. i know it will run like shit. if you just have to take a ride. do yourself a favor and 20 minutes to put on your stock exhaust. i would rather take 20 minutes to do that and take a long ride than having to replace some other internal engine parts, that could get expensive. if you cant change the exhaust then just wait the 2 days to get the jet kit.
i for one like to only do things once. for my '03 i waited until i got my slip on, pcIII and airfilter before i installed all of it. i wasnt going to take the chance of it running lean with out the proper map. then i got the slidestops and v-stacks, i didnt want to remove the tank twice, so i installed it the same time. as with my tires and 520 conversion, i waited until the tires needed to be changed then i did the 520 at the same time, i didnt want to remove the rear wheel again. i guess i am lazy, or what i say at work "work smart, not hard".
