[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1405686, member: 104942"] I found a table somewhere... My conclusion from it was that you may have to switch one size in the jets between summer and winter riding. The clip probably should move as well. Swapping jets is probably about the same pain level as swapping a carb, maybe even easier. Loosen clamps, rotate carb, remove bowl drain bolt thingy (for main) or 4 screws and bowl (for low) and swap the jet without moving the carb. I got to where I could do it in 5 minutes easy on the side of the trail. Pulling the whole carb is not much harder, and means you can rejet with less crawling around and bending over. And no joke about the "take it to a pro". I'm friends with a pro on another list, and he is VERY good, and after many years in the business he considers it malpractice to tune jetting without a dyno and a 4 gas analyzer. Otherwise you are guessing. Granted, some people are good guessers, but its still guessing. With the dyno and analyzer, he can dial it right in and spot on in no time flat. I finally got mine to be "a pretty good guess" and its working well. I still wouldn't mind taking it to a shop with an analyzer and spending $80 to have them verify or tweak it... it would be money well spent. Especially on a two stroke, where proper jetting can turn the bike from mediocre to downright explosive. My kids KX-60 is even touchier... took us forever to dial in the jetting, but now that it's right, that thing is pretty amazing... So if you enjoy playing with jetting, by all means go for it. I do, and I did. But if you don't, don't feel the least bit bad about paying a pro with pro equipment to just do it for you and get it right. [/QUOTE]
