2005 FC550 with stock jetting(main 182,idling 40 etc etc as per book)

I have a ride planned next month in New Mexico. The lowest point starts at 7000ft and some of it will go above 11000ft. Just wondering if anybody has had any experience with these altitudes as far as the fuel injection goes. I have a 09 570 but it has been reflashed with the 10 map. Any...
I have a 97' FE501 with the PHM40 ZS carb that is running way too rich for my altitude (I live in Colorado at about 8500ft. above sea level). This is the second year I've had the bike and it ran OK when I first got it I had to turn the mixture screw all the way in, and back off the idle screw to...
Is there a link or download that provides high altitude jetting specs for an 02' FE 501 (Dellorto 40mm)? I live at 6K Feet, but ride primarily at 7K-10K Feet here in Colorado, with one or two side trips a season to Moab, UT (5K Feet). So I would estimate an 8K Feet setup to be the best...

I used to fly small planes on a regular basis, and...
Hi all,

Also, I noticed a...
Does anyone know a good jetting spec. for my 2001 Fe400e for altitudes between 8,000 and 12,000 feet? I currently have the stock jetting in place which is a 38 pilot and a 190 main. I have a 33 pilot and a 188 main on hand.
