CB500 - Dynojet Jet Kit? Hard to fit?

[Seb JS]

Thinking of ordering a stage 1 Dynojet Jet Kit for my '99 CB500. Is it simply a case of changing the jets on the carb or is there more involved?

any advice much aprpeciated.

The kit I'm thinking of buying is here: https://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/002054/Dynojet_Jet_Kits?search=&sg=OR&mn=0006&st=pt&vhlMake=0002&vhlModel=000877&x=59&y=7&btnid=i2b_imgbut_0

First of all, what are your reasons for doing so? Secondly its a pretty easy job, the manual that comes with the kit are normally very good in explaining how its done, nothing out of reach of basic mechanical skills.

I just want to squeeze a little more out of the bike. It's also a good start point for some home mechanics

Ive replaced the air filter with a K&N, I have a fairly standard can though.

I'm trying to achieve a little more poke at reasonably limited cost.

A stage 1 would certainly smooth things out if you've fitted a K&N and an aftermarket can.

You usually need to replace the springs above the throttle sliders and the throttle needles too.

They generally come with two different main jets. One for use with a can and filter, the other for use with filter only.

The hardest bit is putting the airbox rubbers back on.
