    Hi I'm new to this forum
    I got a 02 malaguti f15
    I brought a new air filter
    It says i should up jet the carb
    The size of the jet was 64 so i brought a new on what was 76

    But when i put the new filter on the bike bogs

    When i pull away its reallly slugish but with the standerd air box it fine.

    Do i need to get a bigger jet?

    And some said someting about soaking the new air filter?

    Cheers

    I take it by new air filter you mean open air filter ??

    when you remove the air box and fit an open filter you lose a shit load of low/mid range torque, so youll have to drop your roller weight a bit to compensate ;)

    also your mixture screw may need richening up as well.

    open filters arent a brilliant idea on stock scooters...
