No backfiring at all. I still need to loose the smog crap though. From what I heard that is the reason for my deceal popping and discoloring of that nice stainless header!. I used a DJ kit and followed their directions as far as main jet size. What would I gain by going to a larger jet? (sorry for the dumb question!) I'm still trying to squeeze the best fuel mileage as possible. I'm not sure i want to tackle putting the Clarke tank on just yet. That could be next winter's big mod.

yep ems, that was what I use to run on my KLX with my BigGun full and it would bounce off the rev limiter all day long. There was no "stop pulling" before 10,000 rpms.

I enlarged my snorkel hole but left the lid on. I once tried it w/o the lid and it wouldn't rev hardly at all. I think some of these newer guys think there is a benefit of running with no lid, but it seems like every story I read of someone trying it turns out to be a week long of trying to dial the bike in until they realize that once they put the lid back on it cured the problem. Just enlarging the snorkel hole is the key I think. The "3x3" airbox mod is common on any DRZ which means enlarging the snorkel hole on top of the airbox and rejetting, it works the same for the KLX.

RE: Where did the power go?
you're absolutely correct. When I said "wouldn't stop pulling until 10 grand" I think I should've used the word climbed to 10 grand with no hesitation. I honestly do not know when the powertailed off but I do know it would hit redline instantly with no bogging or stumbling.
As far as the airbox lid, yes I did tune it for the enlarged hole I guess. By increasing the main jet and maybe the pilot it probably would've run better with the lid completely removed. I just liked the extra security of having a little covering over my engine's mouth. Points well taken.

RE: Where did the power go?
I went as high as a 130 Keihin main and had a full throttle surge with the lid off. I've backed down to a 128, and doubled the airbox opening size. If anything its a tad rich based on the blackening of the fender that I was getting. It runs pretty well though, we'll see how it is when I get back out on the road and can really wring it out.
