Hi guys new to the jet kit thing wanna get this right first time and not waste money. Been looking and seen some posts on here about the dyno and factory pro does any one else make them still for the vtx or are they the only ones and I'm looking at possibly doing stage 3 maybe (getting a new intake for the bike) any insight is helpful thank u

Get the Factory Pro, don't waste your time or money on anything else. They only have one kit (with optional jets), so their Stage 1 and Stage 3 are the same. They actually created different stages on their website because people kept asking them for Stage 3 kits, so they just market the same kit as stage 3 so there is less people calling to ask.

The Factory Pro needle has the best design, this is what makes their kit the best. They also use factory (keihin) style jets, unlike Dynojet (from my understanding). So, with Factory Pro, you can buy additional jets designed for our carb. I got my extras as www.jetsareus.com that I brought with me to my dyno tuner.

As I'm sure you will hear, you do not need to dyno tune, you can use the carb tuning guide in this forum. I wanted to get a more accurate setup so spent about $350 getting a Dyno tune.

Definitely do NOT get the Dynojet jet kit. Use ONLY a Factory Pro jet kit. Before installing this kit you should install any aftermarket pipes, air filter upgrades (I recommend the K&N air filter), and make any airbox changes (e.g. decap). You should also buy Glen's permanent A/F screw and the dimpled blockoff plates to do the pair mod. By making all of these easy and fairly cheap (new pipes is not cheap) changes at once, you can then rejet and tune the carb one time and get to the best spot without having to do it again later after you make further changes.

What's the pair mod? And do I need it

The Pair Valve system is a system that pushes fresh air into the exhaust to help ignite any unburnt fuel in the exhaust. This is what makes backfire sounds, because it is actually backfiring. You will want to get block off plates, and to make it easier, just get the block off plates with the dimple. Yes, you should do it.

Ok thanks I'll look in to it now it back fires every once in a while but if its gonna be alot then yea not good

While the pair mod will reduce some backfire, it will not eliminate it totally. The more useful result of performing the pair mod is less decel popping and gurgling. Perhaps the decel popping are just mini-backfires In any case, the rare loud bang might still occur but the very obvious and always present decel popping and gurgling will be greatly reduced.

I just finished jetting my 1300c with 58 pilot and a 210 main jet - Very happy with results - Im running aftermarket pipes with a De-capped breather/intake - Starts without a choke , idles well, runs well , no pop slowing down
