Jetting baseline KX500

[Brian]

Looking into buying an 04 KX500 and I know that jetting will likely be off. I like to think I am pretty good at getting a two-stroke dialed in but most all my experience has been with KTM two-strokes. I have a few Sudco needles on hand, as well as the red James Dean needle. Just looking for a baseline to start at. Who knows, the bike may run fine on stock jetting but I'm guessing it won't, and I'm also assuming a 500 will be a little harder to get set up than the 200/250/300s I'm used to. Bike has a PC pipe and S/A. I am around 500-1000' temps currently in the 60s-80s. Any input appreciated.

Thanks, that should do nicely as a baseline. Assuming of course that this table is more accurate than the table in the back of the KTM manuals. But I'll give it a shot when the bike gets here!
