    Just installed my jd kit with blue needle at 3rd vs 2.5 clip position w the recommended 30 pilot (wow...was running a 35) and 420 main(was running 430). Bike was still a taad in rich side from plug readings and looking forward to seeing change. Question.....I also grabbed the sweet idle and air screws from tusk. What would all recommend I start the idle screw out at. Air screw is set to 1.5 turns out. It’s wavering on freezing temps here so this bike will sit in the garage for season while parts get added to it for next season but curious to know if there is a standard idle setting for this screw? 0352425A-C6F3-43DC-A790-4049F7402FEF.jpeg

    AS per JD as long as the tusk screw is machined the same tolerances as the OEM Mikuni screw. As for Idle OEM calls out 1400-1500 rpm, check pages 99-100 for idle adjust.
    PS my opinion of TUSK products is way less than ideal.....cheap/low quality materials+ cheap manufacture=cheap parts. look cool but less than ideal alloy, at least on my YZ125 shifter that promptly stripped on the spline shaft. I just bought and installed the high quality OEM Yamaha forged shifter.

    all that said I always get my idle to be in no stall range even when idling down steep angle hills.

    Hmm..well Rocky Mountain ATV is pretty amazing at customer service in the event this doesn't work as one would expect it to. JD doesn't state the idle only the air screw which i turned to the recommended 1.5. I'm appreshensive to putting gas into the beast as i want a fresh carb come spring time...I have an 11 KTM 250 XCF I'm punishing right now :)
