i was told that the only time i should run a br9es is if that is all i have and just to nearest place to get the right kind.must be somthing to that.
My son was riding it and he tends to ride at a steady pace. I just cleaned the carbs, pulled jets, used carb cleaner, always look at the jets at the light. Were all clean. Will be checking carbs, maybe go up a size in pilot jets. Heard that with todays fuel, ethonal and additives, its wise to go to a bigger jet. Always burned premium, mostly BP as I like BP as their premium is clear. Some premiums are a yellow color due to additives, but BP always seem clear. I also posted my Poo 600 1999 touring that also melted down this year, son was also riding that. Its still apart in the garage, guess I'll get that back together this week too, as I am on vacation till March 7th. Thanks for all the feedback.

"Pilot jet is for idle only."
The pilot jet is being used from idle to 1/3 throtle and when cruising around at about 4,000to 5,000 rpm and around 20 to 30 mph you are using the pilot jet.
Just thought i'd let you guys know I cruised at 50 mph for 75 miles straight with maybe 5 stops and didn't blow my sled up at all. that's about 5500 rpms. Got very boring on the mountain bay.
Just got all the parts for both sleds and the 500 is just about done putting back together. Would have finished it tonight but had a couple bad expansion plus on the air box, I call them butt plugs, they are what the screws that hold the fuel pump, cdi, and air box screw into. I did go up a size on both the pilot and main jet, also going to do that on the 99 600. Thanks for all the feedback, will post and let everyone know how the sleds turn out.
