I did the stage 1 with screamin eagle air cleaner,k&n filter,sceamin eagle coil,wires,plugs,and V&H straightshots.I used 170 and 45 jets.Should I go to a 180?Just wondering what you guys have used.Also with 180 is it even more power?

 

I'm pretty sure but I think 170 is the Stock size. 45/180 is usually the standard Stage1 change.

 

Yep, I used 45 and 180 works pretty well. I do need to re-adjust the air mixture screw now that warm weather seems to be here for good in this part of the world.

 

160 is stock for 883.I changed it to 170.Maybe later today i will go back in and use the 180.The weather is nice here in Cleveland finally so I got all day to do it.

 

Mine is a 2005 and it had a 170 main jet in it already from the factory, I think the older Sporties pre rubber mount had 160 main jets.

 

Dynojet says that the 170 is Stage 1....exhaust and AC.

180 is if you have a moderate camshaft as well...at least for an 04-06 as that is what my wife's bike is.

160 should be stock for her bike....I haven't taken it apart yet.

 

Just wondering whats the veredict here, I'm about to Stage 1 my Sportster 883 and seen on Sportster.Org that 883's should go for 45-170 and 1200 go for 45-180.

But most of my research here in the forums showed that you guys are using 45-180 in the 883's!?

So what size should I use for a 883 in a 6000-7000 feet altitude town??!?!

 

If it means anything, I had mine rejetted/dyno'd and what I ended up with was a 46/190 on a 1200 custom. Weather or not that will work for you, will all depend on the bike. All I did was the Vance &amp\\; Hines Straightshots slipons with a se aircleaner kit. I live in Minnesota and we sit about 1000+ alt. or so. Oh, and this is on a '06. Sitting around 80HP too.

 

45-180 on my 883

 

So it seams #45 #180 is the best choice for 883's dunno why sportster.org say that #180 should only be used on 1200's.
