Message: [QUOTE="bclapham, post: 387271, member: 25565"] I was pleased to see a more philisophical discussion regarding jetting! hopefully, if we still have eric's attention and if we get Rich Rochrich's attention i have a suggestion. Please dont think i am being too forward, but why dont you guys put a book together regarding the jetting of modern motorcycles? I am sure you guys are busy people, but i bet it would be a good seller, and there are lots of potential chapters there! My motivation for saying this was outlined earlier, the problem is, everyone has THEIR setting and it might not be of use for YOU. My YZ was suffering from bad spooge, but rather than post on here for some settings or go to some MXA or FMF setting i contacted one of the more experienced guys on the board (with little experience with YZ's however) personally for help....this gave me a good basic grounding on where to start. A few small adjustments later and the spooge is nearly gone and the bike runs very good (still more slight adjustments to come also), and i now understand more on how MY bike and MY carb works. if i had posted, i might have got lucky, but the chances are i may have got a wrong setting.. ..ive read nearly all of the jetting posts and they can get very messy! then throw fuel, mixture ratio and oil type in there and it gets really messy. wouldnt it be nice if every time you got the question "I'm a 40 year old beginner with a 1990 something 250cc Jap dirt bike and I'm planning a trip with my buddies in a few months, I use the cheapest brand of gas I can get, my bike has a v-force rad valve, and a blown silencer, the trails will probably be muddy and I'll be wearing Fox boots with green socks. What will my jetting need to be in order for me to beat my buddies." you could give the answer: "send me a check, and i will give you a signed book on how to figure it out yourself!" Thanks in advance for listening! BC [/QUOTE]
