At the last minute, just before impounding in Chile, we jetted Brian Hasslen's 300 a little fatter then he was using on the test track in La Serena.

His 300 is a little less finacky when running rich, compared to how a 250 would run, and we decided it would be safer to run rich for the first day and adjust the jetting leaner later on if we needed too.

The first mistake a lot of Six Days "first timers" do is run too lean of jetting and over the year's, I've been to 12 Six Days, I've seen a lot of riders make that mistake and lean sieze.

A good Day-One Six Days approach is to run your jetting on the safe side, at least until you figure out how your bike is going to run using local fuels. The jetting track gets you close but there's no replacement for a couple hours in the saddle under race conditions.

From some of your more recent posts it sounds like your comfortable shooting for a silver medal this year ( in Greece ) and a little fatter jetting isn't going to keep you off that pace.
