Jetting!!! Again and again and again!
dsrtrider:
there is a good thread called "jetting again and again" that may help http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,828.0.html
Friar-Tuck:
This might help go to http://www.sudco.com/
Then click on the smaller catalog version (loads faster)
For v.33 Sudco Catalog please click here.
This is available divided in to small sections for dial up users. http://www.sudco.com/onlinecat33.html
Then click on keihin jet needles Jet Needles, PE, PJ, PWK, PWM 135-136
This will give you a headache if spend too much time going through the charts, but gives you a good Idea of how jet needles are measured. I will try to find a direct cross reference from Kawasaki OEM To Sudco..
Please stand by... =) http://justkdx.dirtrider.net/jetneedles.html

Martin,
The N82R is a Kawasaki option needle two steps leaner than the stock N82M. I have seen this listed in Pro-Circuit jetting specs but I have never talked to anyone who has tried it. I always wanted to try one but never did. At 4500' it might be better than the stock needle(4th clip - all the way down). The difference in crispness you are feeling is likely the pilot jet. Your 58 may be a touch too rich. At my 2500' I ended up running a 55. The only time the 55 felt a bit lean was riding in cold air and snow. Pipe and reed differences can also make a huge "feel" difference. For instance a Gnarly will make a bike feel much crisper because of the great off idle response. Hope this helps. Cam.
Ps
Danger can you move this thread into the jetting section. Thanks.

Where is the jetting forum? There is not one listed on the home page index.
I'd like to discuss this more if a mod can move this thread.
Thanks,
Rich.
