I really love my sporty but the thing I realy hate is how lazy the carb is expecially when it is hot right off idle if you give it a couple of reves it seems to be better but if it idles thruogh a red light when you go to take off it seems really doggy. I put the over the counter jet kit in it and it pulls like jack the bear I hve 13/4 drags and stock breather box totally gutted so it is wide open with a K&N filter the jet is 180main and 45 slow + a neddle change I can only imagine when it gets really hot out she will be a real lug. Any help would be great Meat

Couple things come to mind. Did you take off the EPA cap and make adjustments or any to the slide. has a few how to's on it for this. Maurice Riggins article on tuning the carb is excellent. Also the drag pipes will rob your low end of torque. You may need a baffle system of some sort to build up pressure. White Brothers makes a tork-cone that supposedly will build-up the pressure on their porker pipes and they may work in your application. Good luck.

You want better throttle response. Ask for PN 27728-99. That may not show up on their computer. Ask to see the screamin eagle CV 44 tuners kit. YOu want the vacuum piston spring. It's a lighter spring than what you have now. Total cost, $3.00 plus tax.

want your cv snappy?

go to nightriders.com you can modify the carb no problem...free

You can tune the carb till the cows come home, but it will be a pig down low till you lose the drag pipes.

Exactly Syclone, the fastest way I know to kill low-end torque is install a set of drag pipes. I remember the last set I bought some years ago, they looked killer & sounded tough as hell(I couldn't wait to ride it)

I got out on the road & rode it probably five miles before I went straight home & removed them in disgust, the bike ran EXACTLY the same as Meat describes.
