Also from the graph it would appear that the second and third taper on the series NECx is 1 notch leaner series N3Wx.

Concluding: Off idle slightly thinner then have a slight fattening and then a mark of difference (leaner) from the series N3Wx.

As soon as I'll find the graph I'll put the link.

NECx is = clip for clip to N3Yx. NEDx = N3Wx clip for clip. The Kawasaki/Suzuki N3xx needles have a leaner 1st taper than the NExx needles. Tapers 2 and 3 are the exact same though. Also note that the NOZx and N1Ex needle also have the same 2nd and 3rd taper. The NOZx has a long and rich 1st taper, while the N1Ex series has a much richer 1st taper than the Kawasaki and Suzuki needles, but with the same length 1st taper. Kawasaki's NAL and the 1/2 clip leaner NAFx series needles also have the exact same taper profile as theirN3xx needles, but with a shorter L-1. Meaning NALx in #1 = N3Yx #3
