DJ kit:
As Marcelino said, the DJ price seems high for a handful of man jets. But the most effective and special part is the needle, which I haven't seen available except in the kit. Maybe think of it as paying $45 for a great needle, and another $15 or so for a handfull of jets, drill bits, and great instructions.
I bought mine from my local independent shop. He gives great prices; better than ANY online location (ebay, amazon, direct from dynojet, etc).

Watch Ebay - there are buys on there once in awhile. I got a complete DJ kit and 3 oil filters together for less that what I've seen the kit advertised for. Might have even come from someone on here? Anyway, as someone else also said, it also comes in a real neat little jet box that I now keep all my carb bits in, tucked away so I know exactly where they're at. If you only need a jet or two, and know exactly which ones, by all means go get them at a dealer.

The FCR does come with the adjustable needle from the factory .

Do I ask to many questions? I'm really trying to keep all of my questions in 1 thread becasue this way I think people will be able to follow my future project. Maybe someone else will get valuable info this way. Should I be making new treads everytime I have a question or just keep going like I am.

I hope IDRIDR doesn't mind if I answer: to drill out the brass cover of the air/fuel adjustment screw, and to drill a hole in the "slide". SOME people choose to put a lighter spring on the slide instead of drilling the hole. I've done it both ways...I think the drilled slide is better (even though I went the lighter spring route on my KLX), because that lighter spring just may let a sticking slide stay stuck open. That's just a theory I have about it...

It allows for quicker response of the slide, which improves throttle response. It costs nothing if you have a drill bit and drill. If you screw it up, a bit of JB Weld can plug it....but, it's very simple to do...just use the right sized bit.
