New 13 XC300R, What is Best Jetting.

[Gibby]

Just picked up a new XC 300R from Mort's Powersports in Mobile, Alabama.
John the owner is a great guy and has been very helpful trying to help me get the bike dialed in, I have had the bike for 2 months and have put 10 hours on it. I will be riding mainly South Alabama Woods, Tight, Technical, Roots, Sandy, Hills and mud. I am 40 years Young, I have only been back riding for 1 year after a 7 year break, I raced in SERA Southern Enduro Riders,
in my late 20s early 30s. before that I rode alot but not raced.
I am 6ft 200 lb
South Alabama: Hot, Humid, Sea Level.
So far:
Main Jet: 172
Pilot Jet: 40
Airscrew: 1.5
Needle stock in the top clip, and second clip
Slide; stock

Fuel: 93 octane 100% unleaded, (no corn) 44to1 Golden Spectro.
Thinking of change to Amsoil dominator 50to1? Any Thoughts?

I have been fouling out plugs and plug looks pretty black when I pull it. 2nd clip runs good off the bottom through the mid but sputters aliitle going into wot. Top or 1rst clip is clean wot but seems to be lacking a little torque in the mid and bottom.

If anyone has experiance with this bike I would like to know what fuel and oil
ratio plus jetting has worked best for you?

Suspension seemed very ridgid at first, bounced in the rear over roots and square edges, divey in the front end going into corners.
Changed back tire to Michilin sc12xc (much better than stock)
Rear Shock Ohlins 888: backed off rear spring preload 2 turns, low speed compression 14 clicks out,
rebound 14 clicks out,
Front Forks: Marzocchi 48mm recieved with pfp all the way out. I Turned in 1.75 turns.
Compression 16 clicks out, Rebound 14 clicks out.
Seems alot better than stock but i like it soft and plush. I will call Evan at
Solid Performance, when i am ready for service and revalve, Hopefully he can help me plushin it up. He seems to have some experiance with these forks and shock.
Allso moved bars to forward position. Cut 3/4 inch off both end of bars and added Cycra bark busters, Mounted light switch inside front number plate right above light.
Love the 300 POWER.
Bike Really promotes standing.
Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
