If you make all those changes at once you won't know what worked and what didn't --- or worst case -- what stuffed up the great running bike you had.  If possible its usually a better idea to make one change at a time.  That way you know how each one has worked.

   I agree..it makes sense...i should get the 4/1 carb jetting squared away first. thanks again.
89 FJ1200 saphire.blu owned 8-9 years.  By far the most satisfying of them all. Constant tinkering got me the best bike you could ever want.

No issues as far as hurting anything, just that those who have installed them have reported no improvement.

Yes, it is a bit less efficient.

I noticed a DEFINITE tendency to rev a LOT faster after I installed the V&H advancer on my '90.... 1st time I ran her she bounced off the rev limiter becasue I wasn't expecting her to rev so quick.
