More newbie jetting advice

[tpete3]

I have T-5s, K&N pods and VF3s, running 300 main and all else is stock. Real dog on bottom end/have to throttle too much to get going. One friend says to change needle one clip up/ other says to run lower main, possibly 280. I have no clue. ::

Riding temps and elevation?

 

Swap the stock pilots (25) for the next size, 27.5. Turn the air screws out 1 turn.

 

Unless you're above 2500 to 3000 feet, you're lean on your main...try a 340 or so, but plug chop to be sure.

 

If it's a dog off the bottom, as in idle to 1/8 throttle...that's the pilot and air screw.

Elevation is at sea level (Dumont)

temps - im guessing 70

I'll try that tonight and let you know

Thanks dajogejr

I have the same set up on my 99. T-5's, 340 mains, needle clip in the middle and 27.5 pilots. Air screws 1 and 1/2 turns out. Pulls hard in all gears.

don't forget the needle. you definitely want to raise the needle to the 4th or maybe 5th clip and that'll really help. Sounds like your definitely lean so the needle will help.
