Pro Circuit agrees and both my K5's love it with the stock carb.

If the kx were running I might drive it off of a cliff but as it stands now it would be too much work to push it. I Yamaha bonded the reeds in and am still loosing pressure during my pressure test. It takes about 3 min to loose the 7lbs. I used the windex trick and see no bubbles anywhere. Obviously the only place I can't check it the inside case section between crank and trans but I doubt that's the issue as I lapped the cases. Power valve is new and not leaking. Crank seals also new and not leaking. Reeds are Yamaha bonded. Intake boot is ugly but no bubbles. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Pat.
