I see different jet kits on ebay. What are the difference between stage 1 and stage 7? They don't really explain the specs. What would be best for a stock bike. What kind of kit does everyone have and what else have you done to compliment the jet kit ( exhaust, intake, etc.)? Do I need to do anything else or can I just only do a jet kit?

Hey Steve,
Take a look here: http://hawkgt.com/kb/ at the HawkGT.com FAQ under jetting.
The short of it seems to be to use a Factory Stage 1 ket for a stock airbox and aftermarket pipe. Factory Stage 3 is best for Uni/K&N pods and an aftermarket pipe. Now, if you get into the engine (ie. cams, head work, larger pistons etc..) You'll need to jet accordingly. Again HawkGT.com and/or the mailing list. Regardless, (if you go nuts or just for jets ) contact J.D.Hord ( http://www.meccanicacorse.net/ ).
I have the second setup. I had the Stage 1 with pods and pipe and wasn't happy. After the switch to Stage 3?
Hope that helps.Mark
