Well, if you have it jetted properly, it's fine. I was just cracking open the giant book of GZ knowledge and only a couple of people have ever needed anything more than a 135. Everyone who seems to stop at the 135 threshold did have some type of baffle or resonator though. So that makes sense.

Next time, when people come in asking for what jetting setting to start at to try and figure it out, we'll have a little more to go with.

Well, to me... I can't hear any difference when running 130 and 140 main jet. It is loud though. I'd say sounds more like what you described, Jonathan. I'll try to record it. Gotta figure out how to do it without distortion.

One thing though, it seems zippier since the 140 jet. It could very well be my imagination but was keeping up with my buddies who are on bigger bikes with no issues. Was on the highway and it was much more comfortable cruising. Like I said, I could be going nutty. But I have an 18" rear wheel, 38T Rear sprocket, 16T front.

You're not nutty. It was probably just that you needed a larger main and just didn't really know it, since the 130+ was making it run "alright".

When jetting on your own, to get it really dialed in, the only way to do it by trial and error and then settling for what works "best".

I'm glad you got it sorted. A larger main and a slighty richer mixture will also help the bike run a little cooler and we all know how important that is.

That's comforting. I'm glad I'm actually doing something good vs harming my bike.

Thanks guys!
