CHN Needle

Has anyone tried this needle?

It comes as a spare with the new bikes. I thought it looked way too lean but comparing it to the N3EG I just got, it is not that much different...other than what looks like single vs multi taper.

It is lean. When used with the provided 115 main jet it is use for passing euro emissions standards I think.

Interesting...I was wondering what that 115 was there for since it is way off the rest of them. Is there something done to restrict the air intake for emissions test as well?

If you look at the fiche you can see a blocker for the air inlet on Euro bikes. Early images of the 2010 and 2011 bikes also showed air pumps (octopus on the drive side) and catalyzed exhaust pipes.
