First Ride Impressions 2011 250 Race

Confirmed.

NEDx is a half a clip richer than NECx
x = diameters. E,F,G,H,W,J,K (richest to leanest)

Same principles apply with Yamaha needles
N3Ex vs N3Cx

So you guys are running the KTM tower for the Scotts right? Any flex/slippage problems? I think I'll do what I did on my '07, use the BikeBonz with a home made damper mount plate.

Thanks Jakobi! I've read a lot of your posts, and you've been a big help with jetting. So far the results that I've had with the needles have mirrored your results to a "T" even though I'm on a 250. I really appreciate you taking the time to post up your testing results.

Yes, I'm using the tower of off my 2009 KTM. I had to file a spot on the bottom of the tower, since the gas gas head bearing protector has a larger diameter than KTM's, and I filed a groove at the very bottom of the bracket just above where the gas tank vent adapter is on the GG frame. Otherwise it fit right on. I've only used it for about 1.5 hours, but no issues so far.

No worries mate. No use holding back info. I've been through the pain of testing and trying things so if it can be of any help to anyone else then thats a win.

I made a new bracket for the Watchdog computer because I was always worried about the brake line or something getting caught on it when it was in front of the Scotts stabilizer. I added a pull type light switch to it also, which will replace the ignition mapping switch.

You can also turn the Scotts around. This will allow you to lower the Watchdog a little more.

gasgasman,

I took your suggestion and lowered it about 3/4". I still have room to lower it more, but I'm going with it as is for now.

I also picked up a brand new FMF Gnarly for $105 shipped that I'm going to try out. It was a crazy deal....some guy got the pipe by mistake and had it sitting in his attic for a couple of years, and posted it for sale cheap after finding it. Snagged it!
