I'm sure this post will seem like blasphemy to a number of performance riders but I have to say it, and ask a question.
I have a 2001 Suzuki Bandit 1200S that I saved from a 9 year storage it was in. The owner put K&N air pods and monster jets to compensate. At first I was fine with it once I got everything dialed in until I saw my gas mileage. **** NEAR 30 MPG!!!! That blows chunks!!! Soooooo what I decided to do since I ride to work and back 5 days a week here in San Diego is to "un"jet it and take it back to stock.....I know....basically the reverse of what most do.
I bought an airbox and the stock main jets aren't expensive...buuuuuut I'm not sure it he changed the diaphram needle yet, but the question I have for you awesome people is:
What is the stock placement for the "E" clip on the needle?
I talked to a few shops out here and they couldn't tell me, and the service manual doesn't specify that I have found. There are several notches of the needle and the old owner had washers galore on it.
I hope someone might have a picture of the placement..AND!!! a picture of a stock needle so I can see if it is tapered differently than mine.
Thanks in advance for any input. I go by Surf Daze on youtube if you want to see the bike.
