Awesome thanks for all the help guys it looks like I'll go ahead and order the dynojet 2152 and I'll open the airbox and run a 120 or 124 main with the distanzia's. I'll let you know what settings I end up with as a reference for other klx noobs

 

Hmm interesting point I had no idea I def want the extra sound but I'm pretty sure more vibration would get annoying. What speeds are you referring to when you say high speed?

 

I forgot to mention tyres. As I ride mainly on black stuff for commuting I have -
Front - Michelin Sirac
Rear - Heidenau K60
Both okay on gravel although I have to let out some air from both.

 

Some people might like that sorta thing...... lol

 

Dynojet has excellent instructions, you should follow them. There is no pilot jet in the the dynojet kit for a reason, even if your stage two you don't need one.

 

^^^ +1

I know the DynoJet costs more than buying parts from Kaw, but there is a lot of engineering that goes into the kit. They have done all the trial and error for you, so that you have a *very* good chance at getting your jetting "right" the very first time. That's worth the extra $ to me. The fewer times I have to pull the carb, the better. ;-)

 

so guys help me out before i tear down tomorrow help me choose a good jet to start with

option one---no snorkel stock everything else

option two--- no lid at all and everything else stock

Which jet should I go with for each option as a good starting place

BTW im in orlando fl right above sea level

 

in ca at sea level...mine did not run well with lid off...started and ran well with just snorkel removed...ran smoother and quieter with kdx snorkel...i have k&n, exhaust and jetting

 

75-85?!?!?!

I have a bored out 351, airbox lid off, 132 dynojet, 38 pilot, etc. HMF exhaust, baffle removed.

I don't feel comfortable going that fast at all. I have more of a dirt tire though. Does it feel better and more in control going this fast on the road with a more road oriented tire? I believe I have the Pirelli Scorpions right now.

 

My bike feels nothing like that at all, I wish it did though. That has been on my to do list for awhile but I'm completely knowledge-less when it comes to suspension modifications and adjustments. I have heard about the stabilizer before though, does that help out?

My suspension actually needs a lot of work. The middle spring under the seat is out to the last click and when I sit on the bike, it still sags down way too far ( in my opinion). I only weigh 180 lbs. Same with the front shocks. They have way too much play - and the seals need to be replaced.
