this summer JD Jetting asked me if I had a TMxx they could use to develop a kit for as i was telling them about the lack of good needles for this one. They did a bunch of work and I will be getting one of these kits Friday. He said the stock needle was way weird and way off base and there new kit makes the TMxx work great and be far less finicky. We will see. updated 12-28-12 APT - Rules Lectron - Rules TMxx with kit - very good Stock TMX - works fine on my CR When did I become carb tester dude? My bike is probably like WTF. :>)
Yes I think it's official, you are Carb Tester Dude!! Huge kudos K this stuff takes a LOT of time and you are providing a valuable service. Your dedication is stunning.
Yes it does and it's much appreciated; thanks K. LOL I don't know how to do the "qoute" thing but what they said...
hit the "reply" and then you can edit just what you want to quote. Carb tester and internet guide, renascence man, ninja.
I LOVE setting up bikes, suspension, 165 kits, pipes, it is so much fun. I also seem to like taking pix so it all goes together well and if the info provided helps people, great.
I read some rumors that they would have a needle kit for the later WR300s....but that was over a year ago, and I have never seen anymore on the subject or a kit offered on their website.
I called JD this past summer when I was trying to dial in my carb and he said they didn't have anything for me. They must have gotten a lot of interest recently.
Carburetor Kelly? Seriously, all this testing is much appreciated. I'm on the fence too with regards to the APT and Lectron.
hmmm, RB mod'd TMXx + JD kit... this might be what i run next season until the APT vs Lectron dust settles did JD give any timeline for the kits? to echo everyone, this is awesome info you're gathering, Kelly! appreciate it.
I am supposed to have one (TMxx kit) in my hand Friday. I will ask if this is in production and also toss it in the carb and on my bike and see how it stacks up tot he good running stock TMX, the APT and the Lectron.
I did a lot of testing with/for James and I can't imagine my wr running any better. that being said, about the only thing I didn't change was the body. he even sent me a pwk to compare and I like the tmxx better.
yeah I think they even change the Nozzle (for the main / needle) on that kit. Said that carb was way off stock. Will test the Lectron for a few rides then try the JD TMxx deal.
