Hopefully this isn't a dumb question.
If I understand this right, you should rejet the carb (and change air filters)when you change exhaust. If you dont rejet the carb, you could run lean and possibly damage the engine. If I understand how a carb works (and I may not), the fuel is supplied by the "jets". The size of the "jets" determine the ammount of fuel delivered. If that is the case, why would changin the exhaust make the bike run leaner if fuel delivery by the jets remain unchanged. Will it actually damage the engine if you dont rejet or will it just impact on performance? Just wondering.......I read this forum alot and have found some excellent advice here. Thanks in advance for your replys.

Maybe a bro out there can solve a mystery for me. A few years back we were at Sturgis on the main drag (I think it was 1998). We walked past a store front where this wasted due was standing with about 30 piercings all over. The sign in the window said "Adult swimming lessons downstairs. Must be over 21". My 16 year-old son was with me, so I never got to check it out. I thougt I'd heard them all, but I have never heard of adult swimming lessons. Can somebody tell me, using phrases acceptable to a people-friendly site so as not to tick off CD, what the hell that is? By the way, if you do an on-line search of Photos- 1998 Sturgis Rally and look in the "general" category, you will see a shot of the wasted due and the actual sign in the window. Incidentally, my son still considers that the...

Noticed on my last trip that my cruise control disengages by itself--
EVERY time I hit a bump or road imperfection, but also without any other
apparent reason. Just had the local dealership install a new set of grips-could they have done something to cause this problem? Any ideas of where to look?

I have a 1998 Fatboy (stock) that initially cut out at highway speeds. It has progressed to having a racing ide (1000rpm to 1100rpm) and will die unless you goose the throttle. You can't ride it without the choke fully out, but it still cuts out. I cant even make it to the Interstate now
I tried cleaning the fuel filter, checked vacuum hoses, changed the vapor valve hose that had dry rotted, changed coil, plugs, wires, cleaned grounds, and verified the gas cap vented. I guess the fuel valve works because when i drained the tank you had to pull a vacuum to drain. I gave up and took it to the dealer and they did this.........
Changed the carb diaphram-did nothing. After returning it they changed the rear cylinder plug gap-did nothing.
Any help is appreciated!!!!!!!!
