Team Green - KX500 jetting, whos tried it?
Motorrad:
Team green like most desert Setups is a click rich on the main.. So it survives the XX mile WOT jaunt down the dry lake bed at 110mph

Also you havnt mentioned your altitude.. The entire reason for changing things up..
I think your higher than my sea level.. As my bike would melt down with a 165 main..
sintax:
yea, sorry about that.
I'm usually riding around 2500-3000 ft. and live at about 1800 ft - With ambient temps anywhere from 30 deg - 95 deg F
I know there is the jetting chart here on the KXriders site that lists a 168 as what i should be running. I think i'm gonna give it a shot. I recall putting in a 168 before and having it fall on its face at about 3/4 throttle when the main came online.
I've ridden it in Ocotillo with the 165 and while i did not notice any detonation, i did notice it was running leaner than usual (obviously) and was extremely conservative with the throttle.

I put the Team Green jetting in after the recent rebuild with a windowed piston, and the settings were too rich across all throttle openings. So far I have dropped the pilot to a 52, and will be dropping the main. Just need some more tuning time. Most of my riding is up to 1000m.

I found that to get the 0 - 1/4 throttle response right , I had to drop to a #52 pilot at 1 1/2 turns out . Anything more than a #52 pilot and the engine was a blubbering cripple at low rpm . I should also qualify this by adding that I have an FMF Gnarly pipe and an FMF Power Core silencer and I am at sea level . I also have the stock needle set in the second clip from the top .
Most of the jetting specs suggest a #55 - 58 pilot and my engine would be a complete useless pig set up like that . WAAAY too rich !!
