  • @OldDirtGuy
    @OldDirtGuy Před rokem +1

    I think the most overlooked part of jetting a two stroke is getting a throttle slide with the right cutaway. That Yamaha came with a 7 and almost always works better with an 8 or a 9. 2017+ KTMs come with a 4 and they need at least a 5 (2003 KX125) or the 5.75 that came in a 2003 CR125. That or just have the 4 cut to a 5.5 or so.
    That's mostly for the woods guys. The moto guys don't seem to really care, oddly enough.
