[QUOTE="beefydog, post: 685182, member: 48267"] I tryed asking the parts people at the dealership about the jetting, and they know nothing, and they charge so much. I tryed telling them that I was ripped off by them for it, and it doesnt even run right, when I bought a few main and piolot jets, and he gave me like a 1% discount, big whoop. Does anyone know of a place that I can order the needles? Besides the dealership they dont deserve it. I'm not going to bother with flywheel weights, it's not that I can't cope with the power. When I first got it I mixed 32:1 MX2T and it fouled a plug every day I started it. Then I moved the need to the top, and went smaller on the main and pilot, and it somtimes wouldt start when it was cold, so I went back to the stock pilot and its fine for starting. I then also went to 40:1 MX2T and it seemed to be doing good. The plug looked kinda grey in colour and it ran tons better, so I got confindent and changed to 40:1 Klotz R50 and it fouled on me again, and all the plugs come out looking BLACK as can be, and the colder it gets the more power it puts. So it's still rich everywhere, the guy at the track that I met with the same bike, has never touched his carb, he runs 32:1Castor927 and his bike is just a little bit lean. He does have a procircuit pipe but he made it sound like his bikes alwase been that way so why is mine different? I played with the floats a lot to, when it was new the bowl was alwase so full of gas it could run for 5min with the fuel off, and was almost consistantly dripping out of the overflow tube, I kept adjusting it down untill it wouldnt even run, just start do a lean bog down and stall, and adjusted it a little above that, it helped a little but not much. As for if I switch, I definetly am going to do more homework and NOT get screwed again. I read a lot of people saying that the KX bikes are for short people, and I think I can voutch, except I have no real comparision, when I'm way up on the seat, with my head past the bars my nees almost go past the radiator shrouds. I'm gonna look into this Canada thing, two people I met at the track have done it, the one I mentioned the other bought a new CRF450 for somewhere around $4600. No hurry though, got all winter to sit and think about riding. Thanks -Jim [/QUOTE]
