I have an 01 KTM 200 MXC that seems to be running very sluggish lately. I know the change in temperature (very hot summer) and proper jetting is important...but I worry a few changes I've made lately may have affected its perfromance. I recently put on a V-force reed system, combined with an FMF Gnarly pipe and power Core II silencer. According to all the Buzzzzz...this should have unleashed the monster inside...but she doesn't seem to run as well as stock pipe (w/ power core) and stock reeds???
This is my third year on her...put in rings last year but have not done a top end since I bought it new. Live in Northwest Ohio and run Aimsoil Racing 50;1. I here everyone talking about Sudko DDK needles, etc. but not sure how taper of neddle works/affect performance. FMF suggested I jet up and not as lean as stock setting. Doesn't seem to be too much spooge out of pipe. Plug may be a little rich (so hard to judge by simply looking at ceramic). Clip is all the way up...air screw about three turns out.
Knew something was wrong, but didn't realize how bad until I rode my buddies new 200 EXC. Much more power from throttle all the way through power band.
Anyone advice! (other than buying a new bike)
Thanks,
KTMBell
