[QUOTE="nephron, post: 579721, member: 23759"] For some reason, I've learned via the school of hard knocks (no pun or knocks intended) that you've gotta lean it up down low quite a bit and leave a fat main in. At 2000-2500ft at 40-60 degrees (current) I'm running a 55 pilot/stock needle 2nd position/168 main, but am going to try a 52 pilot soon. As a side: How could Kawasaki have built an open motocross bike 2 decades ago, and 'accidently' end up with a legendary desert bike that's still competitive with all that the others have to offer today (in the des)? Accident? Original design, motocross? This seems weird to me. Wouldn't it be great to talk to the geeser engineer(s) that designed the bike and see what they were originally trying to accomplish--plus what their opinion is about where the dino is today amongst all these more 'modern' machines? A great all around hare scrambles and playbike. The quad riders usually just let off and dribble to the side when the KX5 comes roosting by. ;) [/QUOTE]
