[QUOTE="jboomer, post: 520024, member: 27524"] So, I followed RJ's post and nothing really made sense. I pulled my needle out of my KX and stamped on it is NAFF. The manual says this is the stock needle. But, it doesn't give any part number or anything to reference to choose a richer or leaner needle (my clip is in the top position and still runs rich at 1/2 throttle). So, I went to the kawasaki web site and looked up their needles and this is what I came up with: 16009 16009-1914 NEEDLE-JET,N3WD 1 (OPTION) 16009A 16009-1916 NEEDLE-JET,N3WF 1 (OPTION) 16009B 16009-1917 NEEDLE-JET,N3WG 1 (OPTION) 16009C 16009-1919 NEEDLE-JET,N3YD 1 (OPTION) 16009D 16009-1920 NEEDLE-JET,N3YE 1 (OPTION) 16009E 16009-1921 NEEDLE-JET,N3YF 1 (OPTION) 16009F 16009-1922 NEEDLE-JET,N3YG 1 (OPTION) I'm guessing, according to what I understand from the other post, that either needle referencing an "F" at the end would be similar to mine. But, the "W" and the "Y" is throwing me off. Is either the "W" or the "Y" a half step leaner needle? How do you know which it is? If I buy the N3YE needle, is going to be the next full step leaner than my needle (assuming my needle is the equivalent of the N3YF or N3WF)? Since my needle is too rich in the top position, if I bought the next leaner needle then I would be in the adjustment range right? MXA in their May 2001 issue say they run a N3WE in their KX. But, Kawasaki.com doesn't show this as being offered in their parts diagram for the '01, but they do offer it under the '00. This is the same needle right? How do you pull a needle number from this code? I know everyone's getting tired of seeing these posts, but jetting is so dang important -- yet they make it so dang difficult! Thanks for everyones help! [/QUOTE]
