Hey guys, I made the "mistake" to get a Uni air filter this winter while getting my tune-up parts.
I didn't realized it was a "factory replacement" filter rather than an OEM.
In any case it looks pretty descent but I'm sure it will flow more than the stock filter.
In any case I have a 2000 600 Kat that I have to bring in for the 15000mi tune up. (bike actually has a little bit more but well...). It already has Yoshi pipes on and might have gotten rejetted (I'm not sure but I know I can hit about 140-150mi on a full tank highway at around 80mi/hour which seems a bit less than what stock is rated at... no idea about the jet size).
In any case will I need to purchase one of those expensive jetkits or can the carbs just be rejetted for much less (changing the main maybe, I have no idea how much jets cost considering how much jet kits are...).
Oh and are there any special procedures to rejet or you still rely on the color of the plugs? That's how I used to do it back in the days on dirt bikes. I'm not gonna do it myself so I'm wondering how effectively a bike shop will be able to do it and how much they might charge me for that!
Anyways, I have those things to check:
Fuel hoses and fuel system
Throttle cable/choke cable
Clutch/clutch cable (needs tension)
Brake pads/lines
Steering head bearing
Suspension
Valve clearance (needs adjustment)
Carb sync
New K&N oil filter.
New NGK CR9EK (4548) plugs
Uni filter
16x43 JT sprockets and new chain
New lube everywhere (but maybe the fork that still seems solid).
Am I missing something? I recently moved and don't know much about the shops around here so I'm a bit afraid since there is quite a bit of work to be done!
I also don't wanna spend all that much to "upgrade" since I probably won't be keeping the bike for all that much longer.
Thanks for the input,
Sam
