Any of you guys have tried the Team Green KX500 jetting?

Main: 170
clip: spot 2
pilot: 55
air screw: 2 turns out

Friar-Tuck:

Hey Sintax,
 Yes I did when I first got the bike running. 
I think your going to find its a good place to start for guys new to the bike.

sintax:
thanks

I'm thinking i'll give it a shot after break in.

I've been running the following and have been pretty happy with it. This was obviously pre-total rebuild.

165 main
55 pilot
3 clip
1.5 turns out

I just dont know if its "ideal". I'm also more of a trail rider vs all out racer that i'm expecting the team green specs to be for.

I'm a little worried about not running it hard enough all the time when i'm out with the kids or whatever and end up with it loading up and fouling plugs.

alward25:
That should be a good start, what elevation are you at?

I'm no jetting guru, but i'm curious why you want to alter jetting ? Most of us achieve sweet jetting by simply leaning out the oem jetting a bit.  Just because "Team Green" runs XXXX for jets does NOT mean you bike will benifit from the same jetting. Mods, fuel , ambient air temps all play a factor in jetting. You also did not comment what needle you plan to use, but from my experiences a 170 main is going to bee too rich . (strictly just my opinions)
