07 KX250: Lean condition in whoops, like out of gas
KXDINO:
All you can do is go threw a list to check , i know on my kx250 over here in australia at sea level on the sand tracks , that jetting with that 93 fuel would melt the motor or have a serious detonation problem, even with the 98 with richer jetting was a problem , i ended up useing a vhm custom head volume as the barrel was machine .4 mm to get more grunt as well as a port job and all the other tricks i could throw at it. the vhm head is tons better then oem. make sure the crank sensor air gap is set .45 to .85 mm i set ours on the big side. Hope you find the cause of your grief as i would like to know what it is to.

All vent hoses are new no pinches, new fuel line, with inline filter, flowing fine, installed to hopefully eliminte the following issue, with no results.
Here's the situation, and I'm at my witts end trying to narrow it down.
Fast shallow whoop section, in the pipe 4th gear, second bump, goes lean, like I'm running out of gas, I chop the throttle, the slide closes, pull in the clutch, still screamin it's head off, feather the clutch and it drops back down to normal Idle. it only does this in this same condition, smooth straights no issue, only in the whoops, or in a heavy G-out and it is inconsitant, as in it doesn't do it every time, but those are the conditions where it occurs.
I have checked the float height, I have replaced the floats, and the fuel needle, cleaned the seat, all of the circuits in the carb are clean and smooth.
Any issues with crank seals causing issues like this?

I know this thread is over a year old, but i am curious if the author ever found the problem to this? I had the exact problem on my 05 (r1), and through the whoops also. I also replaced everything he did as well. I was going to alter float height as a tuning trick, but i never did out of fear of other issues coming up (i was about done with that carb at that point), and of course rejetting it. Eventually, i switched to a lectron carb, but i raise this up for any future readers and also, i hope he got it figured out and what the problem was. 1 thing i did learn from a yz page was about the jet block gasket. I'll admit, ive been in a bunch of these carbs, but i never touched these before. I bring up this, simply because i never tried it, but to also bring on potential discussion.
