Jetting a stock KDX
Posted: 02:12 am Apr 21 2009
I have an 05 KDX 200 which i just purchased and love to death. I use the bike for desert riding in Vegas area (tight 1st/2nd gear riding to wide open 4th 5th whoops) and absolutely love it so far. The bike is bone stock. Bone stock. I was attracted to the bike because of its lightness and tractability and how many different cool mods are out there.
I plan to take off the airbox lid to get some more breathing (though I do like having a low maintenance air filter). I am also planning on getting boyesen power reeds, gnarly pipe and muffler. Once I do a top end I would polish the head as well (nothing to righteous).
My question is what would you guys recommend for jetting (bike runs great right now)? I am always looking for low and mid range power. Should I just go with a richer main when I remove the lid and richen the fuel mixture screw?
I am putting together a big fat parts list and am looking at $400 some odd bucks (skid plates, chain, sprockets, shark fin, radiator brace, and graphics). I guess I am looking to see what I should do with my jetting in the near and near future.
Sorry for the long post, but I know with carbs, the more info the better. Thanks in advance and look forward to the KDX community.
cheers
