Bought different sporty. She came with a dynojet kit BUT...

I kept my CV kit from my old bike that I sold.
Here is whats happening with the Dynojet kit..

She hesitates at low rpm's with every gear change and for a moment
feels like she wants to stall. Once RPM's rise, the exhaust pops.

First off, the bike I now have is a 1999 sportster 1200 sport.

180 main and 45 slow.
Mixture turns: unknown.
The slide, spring, diaphram and needle are from Dynojet.
I am thinking it would be better to replace the needle
with the CV one as It worked really well in my last bike. Maybe
the spring too.

I really need some sound advise.

i'll second what chuck said

Yeah I mean basically like I said, all this leaves is swapping the
Needle and spring. I already replaced the emulsion tube with CV's
Nice twisty one and jets are jets.

What I am wondering is what to do with he slide/diaphragm
That is from Dynojet. Just leave it? Go back to a stock one?

What jets are recommended for my 1999 sportster 1200 sport?

do you mean stock slide and the CV spring? or did u really mean the
stock spring.

Alright. I didn't know that about the jets and
Do not want to chase my tail. Tomorrow when I
Get a minute I will put te cv jet back on the cv tube.
I will replace the dj needle with the cv as well as the
CV spring as well. The only thing can't do anything
About is the slide. All I have is the dj slide that is a plastic
Material.

Well I replaced the emulsion tube with the one that was on there and nothing really happened, it still hesitates. I would rather use all CV stuff but I do not have nor can
I find a stockcarb slide anywhere online. (thats all I really need to get back to CV)

Arrrgh this is frustrating.

Maybe someone can explain what changing the length of the needle will do. The DJ
needle is adjustable so what can I expect performance wise if I let it go deeper or
if I shorten it up.. this is so confusing.

I do not like Dynojet. I like to live by the acronym K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid)
and DJ is not that. I will have to call zanotti tomorrow and see about ordering this slide.

When I sold my other sporty, I swapped out the carb components so I could keep the
CV parts.

try ebay for a complete carb that has all the stock parts and then modify it with CV performance stuff.

Thanks for the input but all i need is that POS thunderslide replaced.
Zanotti Motor has it brand new for $30, so i will probably go there for it.

I have all the CV parts and I won't have to remove the carb to put them in
with just the slide.

Alrighty then.. went to the dealership and bought me a stock slide
and replaced the POS thunderslide. Also replaced everything DJ with
everything CVP.

Almost all is back to normal. No more hesitation. No more choppy all
around feel to the throttle response. Now once again I have fast throttle response
and smooth midrange.

I still have popping on the deceleration but I should be able work that out
with a little finessing of the mixture screw. (unless you all may have some
suggestions).


****UPDATE**** :
Turned mixture screw out 1/2 turn and presto! no more deceleration popping.
I think I can safely say this dilemma is over. Thank you CVP for a great product
and a forum with lots of great advise.

All in All I am happy to be using the system that actually works and is as
easy as plug and play. I will always recommend the CVP kit to anyone who asks me.

The Dynojet Thunderslide kit is a Joke. It is over-hyped, over priced garbage.

don't it just make it fun to ride again,

Yes, especially now that she purrs like a
Kitten.

However, she needs both of her rocker
Gaskets replaced. I am bringing her in tomorrow
To take care of that.

I have a guy at work that is looking to get rid of his CV because he has an S&S. If you are interested, I can see if he is willing to get rid of it yet? It is off an 87 xl. Let me know.
