Jetting with pod filter?

You'll want to switch the slow jet from a 35 to either a 38 or 40..and then set your main jet somewhere in the 72,75,78,80 range. I'd guess you'd be close with a combo like 38/80 or 40/78. I've got an 06 with the pod filter. I'm at a bit higher elevation but also in a colder climate so our needs should be similar except I also have the cam so maybe my main jet is up one or 2 on you. Perhaps you'd only need a 38/75 or so.

When deciding between a 38 and 40 slow jet just base it on your acceleration from 0-10mph...above that it's pretty much all the main jet. Both the 38 and 40 should work fine and without a computer to give you actual acceleration figures you probably won't notice a difference but still give both a shot.

You will need to toss in a bigger main though or else even with the larger slow jets you'll still be lean off the line. The order I'd suggest is:

- Swap main jet to a 78
- Try a 38 slow
- Try a 40 slow
- Stick with the best one
- Swap your 78 main jet for a 72 and evaluate your top speed/hill climbing abiilities
- Swap that 72 for a 75.....
- Swap that 75 for a 78
- Swap that 78 for an 80
- Swap that 80 for an 82 (unless the 80 was clearly worse than the 78)

This method is a bit time consuming but it will ensure you get both the slow jet and main jet dialed in. Make sure you go for a long enough test with each jet to get a fair evaluation of how good it works because if your scooter is cold (first 10min of a ride) it's gonna run kinda mediocre regardless of how dialed your jet is. What I like to do is keep the floorboard off so I change the jets easily but only do 1 swap per day (unless it's clearly terrible) so you get a bit of riding time on each jet so you can feel it as you're gettiing closer to the right mix etc.

If you want to do it the lazy way then put a 38/78 setup in and ride for a day and then pull your plug. If it's black go with a 75 and if it's white/light grey go with an 80.

Sounds good. I'd just like to reinterate the importance of giving each jetting combo a fair shot. If you spend 20min changing the jet it'd be a shame to skimp on the test ride and only go out for 5min. What I usually notice is that in the first 5 min any jetting setup performs pretty much the same (unless you're way lean/rich) but after 5-10min if your setup is right it'll just get faster and faster until you're climbing small hills and hitting the redline on the way up. I usually just do 1 swap per day so I get to ride 20 mile each way to university and back on each set up to really feel it out.

Also, make sure you're doing all the tests in similar conditions. You might miss the sweet setup if you try it out on a windy day cuz that can really kill your top speed.

I meant to take a picture of my setup this weekend because I finally got it setup perfectly and looking great but I ran out of time so I'll try and discribe it too you.

I cut down the hose going to the funky PCV module and the breather hose going to the side of the carb ran them both to the small pink filter using the supplied 'T' connecter. I located the small filter on the left side of the bike by running it through a bracket on the inside of the main frame tube.

Then I ran the PAIR hose (goes to bottom of the head) under the carb and just let it suck unfiltered air because this is just going into the exhaust tract. Lastly, I used an extra T connector from the hoses that you scrap that were laying alongside the gas tank and used that to plug the PCV outlet (from the top of the head) to the main fitler. I used the plug from those extra hoses along with 1" of hose to plug off the extra nipple on the T connector. I'll post a pic next weekend.

Go for top end performance first, dial in the low end afterwards, im running a 40-82 Setup b/c it rules 60-71 km/h, mine laggs, bogs,cuts out if i whip the throttle right off the bat up to about 30 km/h (20 MPH)

I switched to a 80 main and 38 slow .I lost some top speed about 3-4mph

Are the stock sizes of the slow and main jets the same for the 2005 and 2006 versions? I think I've read that the 2006 needle is different to account for the added RPM of the 2006, so I might try it now that I've installed the Hybrid CDI.

I have a 2006 needle and have been rejetting with the pod filter.

I was running a 40/85 setup. It was too lean on the low end and too rich at the top. I dropped to an 82 and rather than increasing the slow jet, I took Chanito's recommendation and (instead of shimming the needle) cut the 2006 needle down to the same length as the stock pre-2006 needle. That solved the low-end leaness and I think I have the (near) perfect jet setup.

Anyone running the 06 needle in the pre-06 should consider cutting theirs down.

Dang! I already put it back in. I'm still tweeking my top end so I'll take a snapshot next jet swap.

Basically, I cut it to the stock length and then carefully filed down it down to a point.
