I'm basically finished with the Ducati's Dynojet Kit update. I had the carbs out of the bike four times in less than three days. It was a little annoying at times but now that it's over, it is rewarding. I'm not entirely convinced that I'm done, however, because my setup is kind of fishy. Right now I'm sitting at 170 main jets, 37.5 pilots, new needle jets, and the fishy part - the needles are backed all the way out, to the richest setting. I need to do a mpg test to see where I'm at.
Words of advice if pursuing this:
1.) Take your time. No need to hurry. Reconnect every little thing during testing, to make sure you eliminate as many possible symptoms as possible.
2.) Only change one variable at a time. I made the mistake of changing two at a time and it made diagnosing difficult.
3.) Remember the little things. I forgot to unkink the fuel hose as I set down the gas tank once and it almost led me to ripping the carbs out of the bike all over again.
4.) Do as much research ahead of time as possible.
5.) Check out this link to understanding carburetors, it was a great help in getting me to understand exactly what was going on. Carburation
Good luck!
