Re: Package deal got me...

Started digging into the KDX that was in this package deal. Found paperwork on recent top end in the repair manual, really good compression, paperwork on a new EBC clutch, found the pipe that's on there to be the k30 desert rev pipe (not sure how I feel about that, the woods pipe is the cat's meow where I ride), boyesen reed cage, all kinds of little FRP stuff (bar clamp, short kicker, chain guide), all the armor, seat cover, graphics, etc. Really reaffirming that this machine was loved, needs a little cleaning up from sitting in the shed but in pretty good shape. The only bad deal I have found is the drain plug is stripped out, I've put a universal rubber expanding one up in there and it seems to be doing its job.
Was quite surprised at the jetting though; 152 main, 35 pilot, and a CEL needle. I have no experience with that reed cage, pipe, or different needle, but the 35 pilot jet kind of freaks me out so I bumped it up to a 38. I really have only ridden the thing maybe a mile for the test ride when I bought these things, but it seemed to run fine with that jetting and the plug that I replaced didn't look to be concerning to me. I may have to dig into some of the jetting sections here to see if anyone else is running a similar setup.
As I said I am not too sure on how I feel about the rev pipe on there, I guess I can put the stock back on there as I have that for it too. But I hate to go from performance pipe to stock, even though stock probably has more of the bottom end I'm looking for.
