It won't feel right when your riding and i'm not sure but it is possible that it could cause damage. If you just ride for a couple minutes to see if everything is working right i don't see why not but it wouldn't be good to install the pipe and not jet it at all.

To tell you the truth if your really not comfortable with trying to jet it yourself i would just have someone who knows how do it for you or go to the nearest dealer/shop and pay them to do it. Hell, maybe they can even show you how to do it if they're not busy.  |

Does anybody have a pic(s) of where the jets are supposed to be, or a good explaination of where to put the jet?

What will happen to my quad if i ride with the phantom for a day without jetting, or even can i ride without jetting? if itt is rich it will run like crap (you wont have to worry about this though if you get the phantom and dont jet it) but if its lean you are risking serious morot damage like a seizure or something you will proabbably be aqble ti tell if its lean because it will backfire and ping alot and after you jet it find a straight and run up and down it varying speeds and throttles then when you have done this 5 or 6 times keep it in gear and stall it, then check your plug, it should be a choclate color (white=too lean=bad.. Chcolate=good jettimg=good black or dark brown=rich=not as bad as rich but it will run like crap |
