How to pass AZ emissions

erin · 03-03-2013, 04:36 PM

I am looking for advice in passing Arizona emissions with a 06 950 with Wings, Head2Wind’s jetting and a cannisterectomy. I used flexjets to possibly lean-out the idle mixture too much yesterday when I failed the test with CO readings in the 9’s (it must be 5.5 to pass). I have been reading about using 4-5 cans of dry gas and a gallon of fuel to drop the CO about 3 points – that’s not going to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need to set the bike up using a sniffer
which is owned by someone other than an inspection
station, and THEN take it to be inspected.

Also, if you can install the OEM mufflers which have catalytic
converters inside you will have a better chance of passing
the test. When you defeat most of the emissions system,
the emissions of the bike will be adversely affected and now you are
having to deal with that reality.

If you need a stock set of cans with catalytic converters in them to get thru testing let me know. I have a couple pair collecting dust. I'm in Gilbert.

You do not need the stock cans....... You need to see if the kit H2W set for you has the 45 pilots. If so get them out of it and reinstall the stock 42's........

If you need some help let me know...

ECS Dyno in Gilbert. Walter sprout is one of the best

Tossing on the stock cans is alot easier than swapping pilot jets.

My '04 950 had the H2W kit with 45 pilots and akro cans. It wouldn't pass emissions with the akros but dump a couple bottles of Iso-Heet in the tank and throw on the stock cans.. all good.

It's worth a try before digging into the carbs.

Thank you for your replies, and Sonoran, thank you for your offer - I’ve also got stock cans that I had hoped would remain dusty. As I bolt them on for what may be the annual “swapping of the cans”, I’ll be debating whether a dyno test / return to the stock idle jet makes better sense.

Just for interest, has anyone with a similar set-up – Head2Wind jets, non-catalyzed cans, and no SAS, been able to tune their way to pass the inspection?

Got a differant set of pipes (akro's) and it passes no problem. Listen to Ktmser, he knows these bikes inside and out.
If you need help in a few weeks I have a 4 gas analizer.

Mine passes with a Scorpion pipe, no problem. I set it up to KTMser specs.

Also runs great.

Are you using the stock 42 jets with a pre-filter?

Booger1, 4-gas analyzer!

Pull the pre-filter for the emission test.

Yes, stock pilots, with a pre filter, but against KTmser's better wishes, also a k&n style filter.
It passes and I have more power and fuel milage than I did when purchasing the bike from Cali.
Remember they only idle test bikes, so that's where the smaller pilot comes into play. Good luck.

42 jets, pre-filter and the KTMser airbox mod.

I've been hearing that for over 7 yrs.
I hope it stays in place, it seems to really piss those Harley guys off.
