2003 KX 250 SF Conversion
umberto:
I hit bottom (fully leaned out) with the power jet adjustment on my Lectron, and still didn't get the bog to go away. I spoke with Dennis, and he decided to swap my 5x needle for a 3x. It should be here Monday. It's our spring break, so my son and I are traveling to Southeastern Oklahoma on Tuesday to do some riding in the mountains, so I hope to have a ride report and video with the carb sorted out.
umberto:
I am taking the bike down to the mountains this weekend to sort out the carb. In the meantime I swapped over my KYB kit suspension from my KDX Hybrid, and rerouted the brake line using an 04 KX 250 line and 2008 RM guards. I did another post on the brake line reroute; it's pretty easy. I can't wait to ride the bike with the better suspension and hopefully better tuned carb.

You are going to love your front brake, not Brembo power, but a lot closer!

It sure feels better. I can't wait to try it out. I realized I haven't ridden this beast in two months, and that's nearly criminal. :-D
umberto:
I took Goliath out for a run on Saturday to see if the new needle fixed the issue. It still felt rich, and blubbered when hammered. I think it just needs a few turns of the screw leaner. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to tune on it much because I found a missing chunk of concrete (that we didn't know we were missing) that was hiding in the overgrown grass in my parents' pasture. One washout high speed crash and trip to the ER later, I'm laid up with a bum shoulder. Thankfully I think it's just tweaked, and Goliath only suffered a broken clutch perch. I'll try to get another ride report once I've healed up a bit.
