New jets- how to tell??

Thanks for the input Bubbie.

The exhaust pipes have a dull gray/black coating. No flaky stuff and when I hit the throttle it is a "clean" exhaust stream (no smoke or soot).

I did notice on my test ride that it does "gurggle/lightly pop" on deceleration, but so does my UC. No loud bangs or back-firing so I am leaving it alone.

I changed all the fluids at the previous owners house, before I drove it home (1 hour ride). Plus I drained all of the fuel out of the tank and replaced it with fresh while the carb was soaking in carb cleaner spray. I couldn't bare to drive it with the original fluids in it from when she bought it, but I only had the fluids/filters I use for my UC on hand, so the Dyna got mobile 1 in the engine, spectro 6-speed in the transmission and spectro syn chain case to get me home. Then I swapped them out again after getting it back from the inspection site. So, that is what will be in it till it warms up a bit and my wife can ride.

After reading about the fluids on this board, the spectro 6-speed in the transmission may be over kill as far as cost, but I don't think Spectro 6 speed or the Spectro Syn Chaincase oil will be detrimental at all. Unless I hear otherwise they will stay in until it is time to change. I know Mobile 1 is fine for the engine.

I am going to replace the tires. No cracks between the treads but there are some small cracks (what I would consider dry rot) on the treads and sidewalls at various places. Better safe than sorry and tires are the only thing between you and the road.

GOOD TO HEAR, BIKE INFO' SAYS A "GO"

THE OILS AND FILTER YOU USE IS A GOOD CHOISE... STICK WITH IT

NO SUCH THING AS OVER-KILL!!!!!

I'D STICK TO WHAT YOU USE IN YOUR BIKE FOR SIMPLICITY FOR BOTH BIKES

THE DYNA CALLED FOR A 10 MICRON OIL FILTER (LARGER PARTICLES).... A 5 MICRON FILTER NOT AVAILABLE BACK THEN...

DEALERS MAINLY SELL THE 5 MICRON NOW..
(5=SMALLER PARTICLES FILTERED OUT)

THE FILTERS OF TODAY WILL FIT ALL MODELS.. 5 MICRON FILTERING IS BETTER FOR THE DYNA.

this has been fun to help you out.. but u really didn't need it!

YOU WERE SPOT ON PORTER......
