Jetting has always been my favorite/most fun thing about dirt bikes, I spend a lot of time getting mine as close to the line of being too lean, and just right all the time.
And yes, you can tell by the way a motor sounds, and also by the "feel"...i.e...sluggish....you can also tell if a motor is running excessively rich by the amount of black spooge at the end of your silencer and the silencer/pipe connections....also by how hot it's running...hotter typically equals too lean.

I may have that needle if you can't get it.
I'll take a look

I have read up a bit about spooge and so on. It's going to be a fun experiment to get the bike running beautifully when I finally get her running. Still quite a long way from that. Lots of cleaning to do and money to spend. :lol:

Hi Sandblaster! Awesome, thanks. I will let you know as soon as I hear from the dealer.

Great point. My bike is really sluggish off the bottom end, like bogging sluggish. No spooge at all though. I'm running the PWK 36 not the short body version with TPS & Powerjet though. How can I fix this with my jetting? I'm running the Pro Circuit platinum pipe and r-304 shorty silencer.
