Did you really use hot sauce bottles for a yikes? I cant remember how many ounces you said. We took her for a spin today. She actually seems to be feeling quite a bit better. But not quite herself yet. Still seems to stumble a bit without the yikes. So if I still cant fix the one I got from Lou I need a backup plan.
Hey would anyone happen to know if the carbs really need to be jetted differently  for yikes free. I remember someone mentioning that to me in a previous post. But I cant remember which one.

if it still stumbles, your pilot screws may still be a bit rich.

with the bike warm & idling, turn them in one at a time untill the idle starts to roughen a bit, then turn it out untill it just smooths back out.  

pilot screws: out = rich, in = lean

i had two sample bottles of hot sauce, two ounce size,,, made of spun aluminum,,, after a bit of creative thinking, i epoxied them with the openings on opposite ends with a small steel tab to hold them to a bolt. they mount neatly behind the oem yics box, which i now use to hold my papers and an extra 10.00 cash for gas.
  i did have to work a bit to get a hose and clamp on them, but they seem to be working just fine .

Thanks guys. Kia how did you get the hose to seal to the bottle though. Theres someone on here trying to hook us up with some bottles but I cant get my head around how to seal the hose.
Lucky I'm going to try the pilot screws again tonight. Hopefully the rain will hold off for another test drive.

fiddle,
   the bottles i used have 3/8 in outside diameter neck ,the hose has a 3/8 inside diameter- i just  twisted bottles onto hose and added a pair of clamps, one for each tube .
