I've never heard of them....but it is better to stick with original Keihin jets.

[staffylad]

ok thanks beaver not havin much luck findin a full kit so il have to buy  them separate 

[staffylad]

if you kick it over for first time and it goes on full revs for a few minutes then calms down but only does it on the first kick could this be a sticky slider in the carb ..

Step 1: Without the bike running, twist the throttle all the way and let go. It should snap back closed and you will hear the slider snap against the carb if its working properly. If it doesn't make a loud crack sound then I would lube throttle cable and twist throttle housing and try step one again to see if it's fixed.

Staffy,

Good advice from all here!

Will put my $.02 in, if this happens only when you first start the bike when it's cold (choke on), try this, as soon as you start it, turn the choke off just for a few seconds (3-5 seconds), then pull the choke back on & see if the RPMs stay low, keep the choke on until it is warmed up.

every KX250 I've had, has done the same exact thing if it's sat for 2+ weeks...88, 93, 97, 02, 04,...all bought brand new, and my current 2000 that's all brand new rebuilt...and I've always done just what Doldguy suggested....I've just always considered it normal if they sit for an extended amount of time.
I would start them the very next day, and they light off at about 800-1000rpm and just idle.
