[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 638424, member: 22658"] Hey thanks for all the replies guys! (I dunno about Rich though....clearly I didnt mix the oil in the engine...i mixed it in the gas can :laugh: ) Ok...on the Oil - its the Series 2000 stuff (not the lawnmower stuff!). On topic of gas - i have been running pump gas - 93 octane - more often then not from a BP station. Last year I typically ran a 50/50 mix of pump 93 and pump 110 - but I can no longer get the 110 locally (I live about 1/2 between nowhere and nowhere else) - plus I was hoping to avoid the cost of the high octane stuff (I know...dont be so cheap!) Regarding the jetting when i trashed a top end last year: #7 slide, 185 Main, 45 Pilot, A/s 1 3/4 out, R1466N needle, clip 4th up from bottom. I must admit - top end went on an extended WFO road section (I was makin up lost time!) - i was trying to roll off periodically, etc, but earilier in that day I must admit the bike just was not pulling on top like it normally did - As i recall weather was humid, maybe low to mid 80s . After this happened, i went back to the #6, even tried a NOZH so i had a "stock" base line. After a fair bit of messing around ended essentially as listed above, except #6 slide. That was way fat down low (huge fowling issues when i rode pokey slow with the kids) My jetting currently is: #6 slide 185 Main, 42 Pilot, A/s 1 3/4 out, CEJ Needle, clip 3rd from bottom. I had bought 2 other needles in addition to the CEJ (the choice of needles I went with was based in part on either recommendation from you fishhead, or jame dean over on the holeshot site) (unfortunately I dont recall exactly which ones...but two cxx series - so i think one was the CEJ the other CEL (maybe CEK? - I will check out tomorrow night), and I think the last one was a DDJ ( I wanted a DDK but Sudco was out of stock). to me ALL felt lean, particularily 1/2 throttle and up. - (I had taken notes...which since have disappeared oops!), I tried plug reads but found no matter what i got all white plugs and further research here on DRN indicated that was not uncommon). With the jetting set as listed above, bike overall "feels" OK. Nice smooth power, feels a tiny bit fat down low, and ironically, almost lean again 1/2 throttle and above. I wonder if it is less that it is actually lean there, but more that these needles made for less hit (?). I ride in Michigan...so typically under say...500 to 1000 feet in elevation, temps more recently up 70s to low 80s, occasionally mid 80s. Most riding I do is tighter woods, some faster (for me at least!) wood on occasion. I have spent a fair bit of time plonkin along with my kids as well - though I dont necessarily want to set the bike up solely based on that. I have been reluctant to move down from the 185 main as I had seized with on before...maybe I need to give that a go...or do i go back to the #7 - (perhaps staying with the CEJ as Fishhead suggested ? I am riding tomorrow night after work, and moved my clip up one notch (4 up from bottom), and on Saturday might try that #7 again (or perhaps other suggestions here)?? I think the gist of it all...i need to buy a dozen plugs, and play around...problem is not enoght time in the day! thanks again...LMK any other suggestions other than going to a 4 stroke! [/QUOTE]
