hah, i started out strong and have been doing shitty lately. win the first couple then lately crash out early and end up fast trail riding to recover, and too far out of it..., or technical difficulties (rear shock issues..and i had some arm problems - but both issues seem to be fixed...still having rear shock issues in the rocks, but in the smooth it's great right now.)

No worries mate.
Yell out once your parts arrive and we'll get you a baseline to work with depending on the needles. |

I got my bike back and decided to try a few things with the N1EF. Couldn't get it to idle with this jetting; clip #2 Main Jet 175 Pilot 45 I tried the A/S in all positions but no good so I changed the clip to #1 with the same jets and it did idle A/S 2.5 (I had to turn the idle screw nearly all the way in) I have the DEP pipe on it and running 50:1 I will be in touch when the new needles arrive. |

Once you get a leaner diameter needle with a longer straight section in there you'll have a lot more success getting a consitant idle with an Air screw that works. Then you'll be free to shuffle clip positions to get the best response between 1/4 and 3/4 throttle. Hope your needles arrive soon! |

Needles NEDW, NECW, N3EW, N1EC MJ 175, 180 PJ 38, 45 All my riding is done between 0 - 1000ft Temp Range 10'C - 20'C Humidity 35%-70% (I live in a dry climate) Is it worth getting a couple more MJ's; 172 and 185? Thanks Tim |

Starting points 40 N3EW#3 180 40 NEDW#3 175 You could use the 45 pilot if you wanted but I'd suspect you'd have to come out on the AS a few too many which is why I suggested getting a 42 and 40 as well. NECW is just a half a clip leaner than NEDW so you can make half clip adjustments. Basically start in clip 3. Set the pilot and idle up with the slide almost closed. Then work the clip position for best response into the top end, then set the main up last. |

Jake,
One thing to note is this is an '05 250 with the older carb, and tends to like richer jetting. I'm thinking that the "W" straight section might be too lean. A JD Red with the same dia is way too lean to run in my bike. I'd work with specs that have a good history on pre ASII carb 250s like mine. theException_03, Your conditions are exactly like mine but a little drier. If you can get hold of a JD Blue needle, try it, you should be very happy. A common DDK should get you in the ballpark as well. I'd start(assuming you have a #7 slide): JD Blue or DDK #3 45 pilot 180 main air screw 1.5 out |

The Exception, I'd also take note of what Glenn has said above. He has much more knowledge and experience than I do, and particularly as you start to venture into the older models.
I had considered that the older models do prefer a bit richer jetting, but had also read your original post a few times and was more so addressing the comments you had made about the bike feeling rich with the stock needle and clip position. I think the needles you have ordered will give you a good starting point, however if it does come up too lean on the diameter, you'll have no issues selling them to someone else. I would even send you an N3EG if you needed. Its far too rich for me. The other thing I have noticed over the years and regardless of brand, is that jetting specs for Australia and America are very rarely the same. Possibly fuel related. |
