Message: [QUOTE="nmilne, post: 926998, member: 61393"] Hi all ... I'm slowly working my way around my new (1997) kdx ... and have the carb in bits at the moment sorting out what the jetting should be. The carb doesn't look as if its been opened before and has what I presume is the standard jetting - 48 pilot and 165 main jet. I've been reading a bit on jetting here and I must admit being a bit lost ... lots of people seem to be running very lean, but then lots of guys are running at altitude as well. So what I'm looking for is a jetting recommendation for a 97 kdx200 running at approx sea level (maybe up to 1000ft?) with the standard pipe and snorkel removed (but with lid intact, although it has a bunch of holes around the perimeter of the snorkel which I assume is stock?). I'm mainly after optimal response from off-idle. The bike also came with a FMF gold series Fatty K-35 pipe ... i've heard a lot of people say these didn't come for the kdx, but that's what's stamped on it. I've put the standard pipe back on for now because the FMF is rather dented, especially around the crown of it (probably 15-20mm deep dents). Is this a decent torque pipe and are they easily repairable? Or should I start looking for another pipe? Again, I'm mainly looking for tractable power, not really for snap, at least not at this part of my learning curve.... :cool: Neil [/QUOTE]
