    And want to help me get a V-Star dialed in?

    I've got a 2000 V-Star 650 that I just put back on the road. It came with a Kuryakyn Twin Velocity Air Cleaner and some Cobra drag pipes. I cleaned and oiled the filter, closed off gaps in the air cleaner that were letting air bypass the filter, and switched the drag pipes for stock exhaust because I didn't like all the noise. The chrome looks better too!

    I expect, and feel, that the bike is a little rich at idle, but runs fine from there, and the kuryakyn website recommends the same jetting for either cobra or stock pipes, so assuming that was set up right (and it's probably had this set-up for most of it's 20,000 miles), I think I'm set with jetting.

    I've got the 14mm plug, but I probably won't need a 12mm plug for any other project (ok...I've got an 81 GN400...but that's way far off :oops: )

    PM me if you want to help me out :D
