Tame it down a little. - Page 2

A steering damper will also give you a bit longer to react

What jetting are you running currently? Leaner = cripser/more snappy, however I found moving a tad richer (say 1/2 clip) will still allow the bike to run clean and will produce a more torquey feel..

hi belly,
i'd richen it a bit, per jakobi's post, and maybe go up a couple of teeth on the back sproket..
main jet in vic make powervalve covers too, i really want one of them.

i wouldn't go up more teeth in the back to tame it down.. bigger sprocket would make it more wheelie prone, make shifts shorter, and accelerate even faster....

the poor man way to tame it down is increase the slack in the throttle cable at the top adjuster. makes it slower to react - but this has all kinds of bad results if you're not used to it... first thing i do is make sure there is almost no slack in the cable, i like things snappy off the bottom, with all the power available right now.

If you have the stock jetting it can be the problem. My 2011 300 six days hit like a 125 and had dead spots all over. Now I run a n3eh needle (3rd clip) 165 main and 38 pilot at 1000 to 2500 foot. I drop one clip for up to 6500 ft. With jet change I have ran this needle to 13,000ft. This set up makes lots of Smooth even power.l feel if the power is smooth and even you can't have too much.

Thats quite lean on the main.. Guess you've probably got a 36mm carb

I'm running 42 at 2 turns out. N3EW#2 and 175/178 main in a 300 with the 38mm ASII. Smooth yet strong off the bottom with a nice crisp transition onto the needle and main.

I'd be looking at the following or a combination to tame it down
1 - over jetting it a little on the main jet.
2 - flywheel weight
3 - backing off the ignition timing
4 - increasing base gasket thickness
5 - adding a further spacer thickness between the reed block and carb
6 - building in more slack into the PV actuator to make it hit later

hey dude ring main jet motorcycles in Thomastown Vic the make there own p.v covers and are real good i got one for my 07 300 check them out on the web

I was wrong sorry I run a 175 main not a 165

50 t less run out takes off slower with throttle control cured mine.
