Pilot Screws

[rutman]

06 rstd. I assume all 4 pilot screws are set at the same number of turns from the factory. Is this correct? If so then how many turns is it?

I would think they are set using an EGA (exhaust gas analyser) and not all exactly the same.

As an aviator I got pretty excited about the title of this post. Darn...

Cougar, Thanks for this. Just what I was needed.

My experience with an analyzer has shown that the best setting is closer to 4 turns out. on a completely stock bike. If you aren't going to try to properly set the screws, go at least to 3.5 turns out for a static setting.

 

In other threads within the last year or so I have described how to set the screws using just a tach. This method gets you reasonably close to the actual setting with an analyzer and results in an excellent running engine.

Just curious. Wonder how many turns before you risk the screw falling out?

If your at 3.5 to 4 turns, you're near the max for that size pilot. I have the next size up and am @ 2 to 2.5 turns. Although I increased the opening to the air-box slightly.

It has very good response now off idle.
