2011 ec 300 stalling at low rpms with JD jet kit

[gassybill]

hi guys.

2011 ec 300. brand new piston and rings. riding in victoria BC right now 20-25c at 0 to 1000 feet ASL.

Started out with the shitty stock needle N1EF with a 178 main and 42 pilot. it ran ok in cold weather. but still not great. always stalled out at low rpms.

I have a recluse clutch that may be affecting things

I got a JD jet kit. I installed as per their directions. 40 PJ 180 MJ and red needle at clip #4. the bike idles better and the idle screw and air mix screw actually do something now.

What hasnt changed is the fact that if i roll onto about 1/8 throttle then let off the gas as if to roll over a little bump the bike stalls.

If i open up the throttle and continue to WOT the bike runs great. but i ride tight single track and i need good strong low RPMS

Here are the combos of the JD jet kit that i have tried.
with 180 MJ and 40 PJ ive tried Red needle clip #4 JD recommended start
Blue needle clip #2
Blue needle clip #3
175 MJ 40 PJ Red#3 clip
Red#2 clip
i always start with the airscrew 1.5 out and go until 2.75 out.
None of these combos seem to make a difference as far as preventing stalling
the recluse seems to be set right bike tugs a tiny bit at idle in gear.

any advice? has anyone had this problem? i cant keep crashing my bike because of stalling at these rpms, shes really starting to take a beating

A good wrench i know has suggested that i push my clutch pack apart further with the slave cylinder on my rekluse.

ill try that and update

No luck with recluse adjustment

Also tried 178 mj 38 pj red clip 4. Exact same

Try a 42 pilot and increase your idle speed by turning in the stop screw.

I am no expert but I was told that the needle does not do anything at low speed but the main do ..I would try 38 or 35 .or your clutch need adjustment ..try again but hold the clutch handle to see if it die .cheer
