did you upjet to compensate for the open filter and exhaust, if so post the size of jet you took out and the size you put in.

It wont be your mixture screws causing this, this will be main jet :)

if you havent upjetted for the open filter (as Guns said) it will be running far too lean....also you havent mentioned if youve fitted lighter rollers and stiffer clutch springs???

will need around a 15% bigger jet for a K&N filter and a sports pipe, along with tighter clutch springs and lighter rollers...

The problem will be finding out what, if any, changes to the set up have been done already.

15% ...
10% of 86 is 8.6
5% of 86 is 4.3

therfore their telling you to upjet by 12.9 sizes so 12-14 jet sizes higher you should try..
98-100 :cheers:

You will need a box of jets, not just one. You want a few sets of different weight rollers too.

Have you or your mate still got the standard airbox? Fitting the standard airbox will solve MOST of the problem, "K&N" filters adds no performance to your engine whatsoever.
