Have Cobras Read

[98blackvmax]

Hey folks just thought I would share this.I wrote an email to Cobra complaining I bought exhaust and there web sight says I would get the most out of my max and that I was told I would lose 10HP.There engineer emailed me back saying Iwould not lose 10HP and if I used there jet kit I would get a small gain.What ya think ???????

The key with the Cobras is to reject properly using their kit or your own set up and they will perform as good as stock, but not better, with no rear scavenging and the stock head pipes restrictions. The Cobras do sound and look good on the max.

go to a dyno before and after and prove it either way. Get their engineer to agree that if you lose power, they will refund the cost of exhaust + jet kit!

Dont use their jet kit, way too rich. Rejet with 147.5 mains

For true. Their jet kit includes 155 mains, the bike runs so rich it smells like the burn out pit at Irwindale when you're idling. I was topping out at 90 miles per tank using the Cobra recommended jets.

I'm running 147.5 mains suggested by our local carb guru. It's running great, but still moderately rich. I plan to change out the PAJ's to a larger size next time I have a sync tool around.

I may have lost a very small amount of "grunt" on the bottom, but it runs like a monkey thru the rest of the range now. Mileage still suffers, I only get about 105ish out of a tank, but then I also ride like a complete jackass so some loss in effeciency is attributed to my wrist problem.

With Morley's stage 6.5 carb setup and Holeshot's full system I run over 40mpg on the highway.

The last two Cobra bikes I saw ran 95bhp! I ran 124! :confused2: Now I realize engines are different and all but I had a whopping 3000 miles or so when I ran 124.

G-luck,
Chris

I had Cobra's on my '94...notice I emphasized the word HAD.:damn angry:
Looked great--ran worse. I am sure there are folks that are happy with them but I have better things to do with my time than constantly fiddle with my bike to eek out every drop of power from it (not that that is a bad thing:biglaugh but after I had installed their jet kit, which happens to be made for them by Dynajet and is pretty much the stage1 but with less choices for mains, It just had a noticeable loss in HP and a measurable increase in fuel consumption.

I canned them, bought new carbie diaphragms to replace the drilled ones that was done to complement the "jetting" :bang head: for the Boulevard exhausts, went back to the stock jetting and drilled cans and, Viola!

I love the look of the slashcuts but I was unwilling to part with any more lost ponies.
Good luck,
Bud

Sounds like a good plan to me - Let us know how it works out when the snow is gone.
