The latest LTR needles should be richer in the straight section than previous that were indeed lean.[/QUOTE]

The LTR needles I have are sold as -0 needles and measure 2.66mm in diameter. This needle in my 06 300 was lean in the #3 clip 42 pilot and caused the bike too hit too hard at off idle causing excessive wheel spin. The other two needles I mentioned have a softer off idle hit that works better for picking your way through rocks or roots. The CCK is mellow throughout the entire power band and the N3EG gives the bike a more motcross like feel with a healthy mid range hit and a nice over rev if you use a 175 main. Keep in mind I have the DE ignition on my bike so it is more responsive to leaner jetting. The LTR needle may work fine at off idle with the heavier EC ignition as the heavier flywheel will have a dampening effect on throttle response. I do think the heavier ignition would benifit from the N3EG needle to help the slower reving motor spin up faster. Dave
