I have worked on my bikes for a while; however, I have never really tried to truly jet my bikes. I know jetting is bike, location, temp, riding style, etc. specific; however, it seems several people seem to use the same ballpark settings. My bike is as follows:
2005 KDX200
air box lid removed
Pro Circuit pipe and silencer
altitude of approximately 1000'
temps 70-90's in summer
Amsoil Interceptor 40:1 with premium pump gas
Current settings:
42 PJ
152 MJ
stock (R1174K) needle in mid position
I don't have anywhere to perform a plug chop close to home. I don't want to be on the edge and constantly having to rejet to keep from having engine problems due to lean conditions. On the other hand, I don't want to be too rich. I know if I stay lean enough I would have to richen the settings for winter riding (30-40's). This is obviously not a race bike. I ride trails mostly and follow the kids around. I want the best performance while still not constantly worrying about lean conditions. Am I in the ballpark or completely off? What do the experts think?
