Suzuki VL 1500 LC
Factory Pro was the first to seriously address the needs of the VL1500
community - |
We try to charge a fair price
for the service and product we provide - So - a Config 30 kit with air filter is
priced at about $130 - as it should be and the VL1500 Carb Needle Jet rebuild with
HDJ (multi disperse jet) style needle jet for about $280 including new needles,
new needle jets, new pilot jets, new main jets, float height adj., cleaning and
so on.
Now - as compared? We don't charge $250 for the jet kit + air filter and we
don't really condone installing supposed copies of stock needle jets (not the HDJ
style) and allowing people to think that it's the "same" as what we designed, patented
and provide as our normal service.
The HDJ System allows leaner jetting without surging than the stock style needle
jet for best mileage and the "others" can't claim that.
Also - If we've rebuilt your carbs to HDJ specs AND you own the bike long enough
to wear them out again - we will replace them for $100 + shipping and handling -

Feedback:
2007 July 4 Installed a CRB-S77-1.0 Config 10 in my Suzuki 1500 today and it seems to have fixed my lean surge problem at part throttle. More miles will confirm the fix: seems like a different bike with the lean surge problem gone. I set everything to recommended start points and it seems great!
Thanks
for producing a good product!!

Also - needle jets wear out!!! (some people still call them "emulsion tubes) How to diagnose and repair... I used to
get 40+ mpg and now, I get 25 mpg......... We will rebuild your carbs' needle
jet orifices by replacing the original worn-out needle jets (they aren't
normally replaceable!!) with our new plated and patented HDJ (High Dispersement
Jet) system. How special is the patented HDJ fuel
delivery system? Benefits include: The carbs must be sent to Factory
Pro in San Rafael, CA. AND - if you ever wear out the HDJ needle jets again?? We will replace them again for $100 + S&H. We can repair poorly designed titanium needle jets,
too. Wadda deal! Marc |

Subject: Overdue Thanks
Date 04/02/2003
Marc,
Its been many months now since Raul (Wheelsmith / Factory 415 472-4962) rebuilt
the carburetors from my 99
Suzuki LC1500. The emulsion tubes were to the point where I rarely got better than
22 mpg.
The fact that Raul does outstanding work was expected and appreciated however this
is where the expectations stopped.
Once I received the carburetors I had hundreds of questions. Raul had the patience
to go over every one until I understood, although Raul wouldn't accept I understood
as good enough. He made sure he knew I understood and could apply the information
he was giving me.
On a late Friday afternoon during the tuning process I was having some difficulty and calling it a day. Raul gave me a number to call him on Saturday for any assistance he could lend. I called him that Saturday and used a lot of his time yet he never wavered in trying to help me.
His attention to detail and commitment
to customer service are second to none!
Lastly I wanted to relay to you that several thousand miles later the bike still
runs great. I often get twice the mileage I was getting prior to the repairs and
I'm very pleased with the performance.
Thank you and Raul for an outstanding product and a level of customer service that
truly is outstanding.

Postscript about stock needle jet life:
The people on the Vl1500 site are aware of the work
performed on my bike by your shop. I know many of the people on that site, most
of which have far greater mechanical abilities than I will ever be. As a matter
of fact some of them are quite gifted when it comes to these machines. (yes, there
is! Marc)
In answering your questions I would have to say most of my driving
is around town, beach cruises etc.
The bike had aftermarket needles installed somewhere
around 10,000 miles and the mileage started dropping
off rapidly around 25,000 If I remember correctly.
I presently have close to 37,000 miles on the bike.
