Re: Top Speed Woes

Shimming the needle is quick and easy. Years ago a friend had a Yamaha DT 200 that was just horrible at low RPM. I quickly made an adjustment and it ran much better. Much more user friendly at slow speed and manuevering in the bush. My bike at the time was a 200 KDX and rejetted after break-in. It was really a lot more confidence inspiring with the new jetting. Both of these bikes were 2 strokes but the same rules apply. You need the right mixture to be happy.
