I found the jetting guide to be "right on".  It gets you to the right carb settings immediately, which combined with the "how to start your 500" sticky somewhere around here, will make having that 500 a whole new experience.
I now have flawless carburation and guaranteed 1-kick cold starts thanks to these two tools.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys I had a play today and your looking at one very happy and prob soon to be one very scared little man here.

I followed all the tuition that you fellas gave me, to the money and it was spot on.

I pulled apart the carb, and to my surprise the ?Main jet? (thanks cam hehe, I wouldn?t be able to use the lingo if it weren?t for your post) had fallen out.
So I endeavored to put this back in. (cause I assumed running just off the needle jet would have made it a tad rich hehehe)

Main Jet was 165 (spot on)
Didn?t check the ?pilot jet? cause my bottom end is awesome (thanks cam again for the lingo hehe)

I then took the liberty of changing the needle clip to the third position. (needle code said R1368N, is this standard? :?)??????.

Does everyone have a little trouble with the spring or was it just me hehe.(nothing that 2 zip ties couldn?t fix  :wink:)

Now I took the old girl out after putting her back together, then she fired up first kick. (from my experience finding TDC then giving it a boot full works most every time) and it already sounded crisper.

after she was warm, I then tried a ?controlled load? acceleration (a burnout on the cement)

all I can say is OMG :-o. I have a feeling I am in for a bit of trouble. It just sounded so strong, it was like unleashing a dragon :evil: :evil:.

If you were in Aus id buy you all a beer cheers for all your help, cant wait to test ride it for real.
And fellas its been a great welcoming from all of you, I appreciate and thank you all very much for your advice Kxcam, and Danger for you 2???.
