Guys,
I'm new on the board and just picked up an "almost new" 2003 KX500 from a guy in Michigan that barely rode it. It came with stock jetting, (168 main, 52 slow jet, clip in the middle position).
I had a 2000 KX500 that I loved, but then along came the 03, which was in better shape so I sold the old one.
I had the 2000 jetted with a 158 main, a 55 slow jet and the clip in the 2nd position from the top. I generally ride at around 4000 feet, (Movjave, California city, Ridgcrest areas), to as high as 7-8000 feet, (Big Bear and Gorman), or occaisionally lower, at around 2500, (in Lucerne valley). This jetting seemed to work for me on the 2000 KX, so I switched the 2003 bike to it, and am ready to try it out.
After reading some of the jetting tips on this message board, I'm beginning to question if I am actually in the ballpark with this setup.
Can someone let me know if I'm jetting this thing correctly, (it still has the stock pipe, reeds, etc).
Thanks,
Brian
