You must be talking about the hole next to the needle hole on the bottom of the slide... Can you go bigger than 7/64" or will it hinder performance?

That's the one.
7/64" is the recognized benchmark. Going bigger will have adverse effects, slide hover etc. You can get problems erratic idle. Mine is 7/64" and it idles great. Has great response too, for a CV type carb'.

Ok thanks, its drilled out but since I had the bike apart I took the screen out of the air box too so not too sure how much of a difference the drill did but the both of them sure made an improvement! Bike is running a little lean so now I get to change out the main jet.
Thanks again WestOzKLX.

2) Drilled the crankcase vent hole at the lower front right hand corner of the airbox out to 3/8". Like the KLX300, this system is plugged up and enlarging the hole helps move air out of the crankcase. It also means oil has a clear shot at your airbox if you lay the bike over.

If I drill out the stock pipe and put some holes in the Airbox cover will I have to mess with carb? I plane on getting a new exhaust and jet kit later on, but I just don't have the funds right now and we are hitting the trails on Saturday.

He pops into the FJR and KLX threads at Adv Rider every now and again. Seems like he's doing fine.

I have just finished putting the Jet Kit, FMF Q4 and KDX snorkel on my bike. It's like a night and day difference. I am debating changing to the 13T countershaft sprocket, but I'm afraid it will make the bike a little squirrely offroad. Anyone have any thoughts?
