Did try the 42 bike was has to start, a/s did nothing

Cooling off now with fall coming 10C (50F). Rode on Monday with a 42 pilot, N3CG #3, AS 2.5 turns out. Very strong off the bottom, I run the stock 13 - 48 gearing and had thought about adding teeth to the rear. Not now, it will pull from way down low in 2nd, 1st gear takes a steady throttle hand in the tight stuff.

06 EC 300.

Ok, I'm on 40 pilot, N3EG top clip, and 172 main.

If I run any lower than top clip (go richer on needle) I get loading up issues. 38 pilot loses all low end, feels perfectly crisp and powerful on 40, everything feels perfect. All I really want to know, is what needle will give me the equivalent of N3EG top clip, but in middle clip?

Thanks!!

Sounds like you need the same profile and diameter, just longer needle. Not sure which character indicates length on the yamaha needles...

Off the top of my head, an N89G needle,which is the same exact profile as the Yamaha/ KTM N3xx needles will give you 1 full clip position, but there are leaner/ longer L-1 versions of that profile. I'll look at my notes at home for the leaner versions and follow up on this later tonight.

Thanks! So there is no 'just change 1 character' fix then

No, The leanest version of that profile is an N82x, which is 1/2 clip position leaner than the N89x. Unfortunately the leanest starting diameter I could find was a K, so that isn't of much use to you. The N89G is, I believe still available though through Kawasaki http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detai...6009-1744.html and Yamaha, http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detai...916-9G-00.html help you out a little.

I've Googled N3GG and it exists, recon this might be half a clip leaner?

[Jakobi]

In 1/2 clip variations from leanest to richest they are...
N89x=leanest
N3Cx
N3Ex
N8Rx
N2Zx
N4Dx
N3Vx
N4Ax
N6Mx=richest

I've ordered the n3eg and a 180 main but don't see anyone using a 180 , is this too big ?
