[QUOTE="Chief, post: 285799, member: 24546"] Good to hear from You Guys, Mark, I put the clip one up from center on the new needle. This has been a warmer weather setting I've used w/ the original needle as well. I've been able to avoid the colder days and ride at least 40-50 degree days, even up to 60. Clip position has more effect throughout throttle position range, whereas needle diameter has effect on closed to 3\8 open throttle. I have leaned out lower throttle settings by installing a fatter needle. This has a less dramatic effect than installing a smaller pilot, sort of a fine tuner, but it effects more up to 3/8 opening. The pilot jet affects up to 1/4 throttle, then abruplty drops to nothing. This is all bench racing, hard to put into words what the bike feels like, I can tell you I like the difference. My own goal has been to achieve a smooth, somewhat more linear power delivery with a very useable low end. I encounter a lot of very tight windy rocky hilly terrain and this is what I like and need. I've ridden bikes like mine that really explode, I'm sure they are faster on a straight line and most tracks, but my bike is still plenty fast for my own abilities and riding conditions. My experience is it will knock when too rich, but go too lean and it detonates quickly. If everything else is on, the air screw will fine tune it enough to smooth it out perfectly. Sorry to hear you are having other problems. These guys will surely get you through it. Vytas, Hope you get to ride soon. Doh!!! stupid winter!! RM guy is probably gonna kick my butt next week at Paragon, the best I can hope for is trails so tight he'll get tired just hanging on. I can always hope, right? :cool: DRN: the next best thing to being there. Joe Chief [/QUOTE]
