RE: 1200C rejet help
I rejetted my 1200C many times. I never did get a combonation I liked, but thats beside the point.
I just removed the A/C unit, popped the carb lose from the mount, then removed the bowl to get at the jets. Pretty simple, take your time on your first time and you should not have any trouble. Before I sold my Sporty, I could replace a jet in less than 10 mins.
hope this helps...

cHarley, that link is just a quick reference, you get an idea where the jets are located. Like I mentioned, you can do it by removing the float bowl. If you have to knock the idle mixture plug off, you may have to remove the carb. My bike didn't come with the plug so I can do the reject and idle adjustment while the carb is on the bike.

Don't be intimidated at taking the carb off the bike, it's really not a big deal.
Here are a couple of links that provide excellent step by step, with pictures for both tuning the carb and rejetting.

RE: 1200C rejet help
Just wondering if I can rejet the carb. without removing it. It looks like it can be done by just removing the A/C and fuel tank to access the vacuum side of the carb. Any advice is apprecicated.
You can rejet the carb without removing it. However, you will want to remove the carb the first time you rejet it because of easier access to drill out the plug. It's very difficult to drill out the plug with the carb on the bike. IMO it's not worth the effort considering how easy it is to just remove the carb. If you decide to change jets again at a later date, then you can just leave the carb on the bike to rejet.
