[WWR]

1997 YZ250

- sub-exhaust port opened more (modified exhaust valve) for more/earlier midrange hit
- cylinder raised .5mm (double base-gaskets) to advance port timing for more top-end
- squish clearance set at 1mm (head shaved), big boost in power everywhere!
- V-Force II reed cage (extended over-rev)
- had a Pro-Circuit pipe, but the stocker has more power everywhere, especially peak
- MX Tech fork valves, shimstack done by myself
- X-ring chain (best mod yet!)
- swingarm/rear linkage modified by myself with tiny grease zerks for easy lubing
- Motion Pro Terminator clutch cable
- Applied Racing top triple clamp
- Tag Metals fat bar

Jetting: Main in the 160-170 range depending on conditions, Pilot is a 45 (?). Needle set at mid-clip position. Running 32:1 full-synthetic.

Upgrades in work: Head chamber machined opened a tad, rear shock rebuilt/revalved, and larger capacity fuel tank.

can you pop open your carb and list all the settings along with what type of fuel and mixture you run.

ported, shaved, valve spring kit, ti-retainers, megacycle cam, delorto carb, everyone and their mother airbox mod, big gun tail and header. I may be forgetting something. . . I cant seem to find my jetting settings, and im far too lazy to pull the bowl off.

I will be happy to help out on the dirt bikes though the winter.
I also have a little spair time now at night for some street bike stuff.

 

[SV996R]

Pete, I just talked to Lance..since your carb was a mother to get into... how about looking at what is left in your JD kit along with what was recommended by James Dean in the instruction sheet. My guess is your running the blue needle, 185 main jet, 40 pilot jet with the clip at the middle position.

Oh yeah? I'm thinking of getting a FMF Q pipe for mine, and may have to adjust the jetting again? And it does stil bog some times grabbing a handfull off a closed or slightly open throttle.

I'll look at the recommendation again... I'm pretty sure we (well Lance ) went with exactly what was recommened as my mods matched what JD had in the kit. I'll post up when I find it.

 

[SV996R]

Pete,
with it bogging at part or off throttle I would look at lowing the main Jet. If you have a 185 then go to a 180, change your clip to the 5th position then check your Pilot jet along with how many turn out the setting is. This is what James Dean recommended to me with the same scenario. You should also try the PowerNow carb insert when you do the pipe. The FMF Q series exhaust can flows nice, forest approved and prety low db.

 

[GixxerPete]

Umm.. that sounds like complicated carbicator stuff? :confused


Lance, you were saying you would work on dirt bikes now???

I noticed other people with the steering dampers. I have heard of the advantages of them on street bikes, but what do they do for you on a dirt bike? Would it be helpful on my TTR?

My TTR tends to bog when I really pop the throttle from idle. After opening the airbox and putting on the FMF pipe, I rejetted and found that setting the idle a bit higher really helped, but it still tends to do it unless I have the throttle cracked a little. Should I change the position of the needle? Seems like it should really pop.
