The needle is the key. It covered almost the entire rev range and has the most variables. It also overlaps both previous mentioned circuits.
I think the older bikes prefer to run a bit richer than the new. I would definately suggest spending some coins. Get an NEDJ and a N3EJ, both should be happy with around a 42 pilot. NExx 172/175 main, N3xx 178/180. Start with the clip in the middle. If you experience more burbling at 1/4 throttle than you are happy with lift the clip 1 pos and try again. Shouldn't cost much more than $30 in parts.
You could probably borrow a N3EJ/N3EW off a mate if you know anyone with a YZ250  |
I have a stack of Yamaha and Suzuki needles and a fist full of jets standing by for my first run at the trails. The needles have been on my bench for about 6 weeks now, but my schedule has not let me test anything yet. Your posts in particular, Jakobi, have helped me set my performance goals. I have a nice little spreadsheet which provides the habits of the NXXX needles. Changing jets on the trail sucks, but needles are easy. I hope to find a simple solution with jets and tune with needles. With my current selection it shouldn't be too hard.
I'll get there, I promise!
