**trikezilla** · 02-21-2005, 04:47 PM

Ok, I have looked at all of the posts I could find regarding the Dial-A-Jet. I was wondering what you think of them?? Have you ever had a problem with them?? If you leave an opinion, please stae whether or not you have one installed on your macine..IF YOU HAVE A 83R AND YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE A D.A.J. LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK....

I had one for the 350X put it on and it leaked gas out the top so I sent it back for a refund. My thought is that you can spend 10$ and 1hour changing jets. Or 70$ and 10seconds. I think Dail_A_jet is a rip off but thats my oppinion.

Have one on my Z and it's awesome, I have only good things to say about it, and smokey has the only complaint I have seen so far.

Same thing here!! I love it. I have never heard a complaint before. The only way gas can go out the top is is you don't lossen the screw before you change the settings because that will damage the internal parts to the dial-a-jet. I think it is well worth it.

Ok...these are an easy install then right? From whom I have talked with, they make it sound easy and straight forward.....secondly: is it easy to get your motor tuned in with this thing???

I have one on my 225 dxn.it works realy well on 1 st 2nd 3rd gear.Yes they are very easy to put on.I probbily gained about 5% on gas mileage,%15 on horsepower.Here is a pic of it instaled.

If your stock setup is too rich it doesn't work. It can only add fuel.
I can understand that basic function of the dial-a jet. The problem I have with their marketing is all the mumbo-jumbo about the sound waves and the super-duper-emulsification crap. What is UP WITH THAT??

**edog** · 02-22-2005, 08:32 AM

That is how it workes.To simplify it,it works under engine load.

I ordered mine today from the local shop (Gotta give these guys props..they have always ordered parts for me no matter how insignificant w/ out complaining!!!) . Does any body have this on a 250r?? i noticed the DAJ kit is the same for all of the R's...i will let you guys know how it works out...and yes, lol i got the snorkel kit

**hrc85250r** · 02-22-2005, 09:27 PM

you guys, its only for if you change elvation constantly...they suck, junk, stupid....jet your carb correctly and you will get maximum hp...and the amount of gas the d-a-j will add is determined by vaccuum in the venturi and how you adjust it, just so you know....

It is for more than just elevation! Have you actually used one or is this what you hear??

i have had mine for over a year and i love it. It was worth the money to me.

Ya thats right you will spend 10$ on jets or 70$ on Dail_a_jet

**86250RZ** · 02-23-2005, 10:44 AM

I've had mine on my 86 250R for 2 1/2 years and love it , worth every penny.

As I understand it, they are not just for changing elevation constantly. Your jetting needs change all the time regardless of elevation. A 10 degree change in temperature, humidity, riding conditions, all that will require a jetting change to have your engine run at peak performance all the time. If the DAJ does what it claims (and I don't know that it does since I don't have one but the theory seems sound) it would give you perfect jetting within a certain range without even changing the dial. Basically you jet lean then let the DAJ "fill in the gaps" (for lack of a better term) as needed. How much it adds is determined by engine load.

I'd still like to try one someday. Not sure how i'd mount it with my current setup though.

Here is my $0.02 just to make a point.
Have you ever seen a dial a jet on a professional race bike, quad, 3wheeler.
Didn't think so....
