Rocky Mountain Dirt Riders

Im looking to purchase a 2018 xcw as they have some good deals now but was wondering how everyone is liking the TPI (fuel injected) versions compared to the old carbs? Also is a jetting kit necessary?

Jd jetting kits usually take the guesswork out of carb setup. Just follow the supplied instructions.

I used the Jet kit and a little fix kit which in my opinion was needed. After that the bike ran perfectly.
It is also for sale if you want to buy something all set up already!

Thanks. Was it hard to install?

What was the fix kit? What do you got? Can you post some pics?

Allison's (Cycleworks) used bikes are always a great deal. Her stuff is dealer maintained and loaded up with all the must haves. As a bonus she isn't hard on her gear, which really is the most important.

Always a safe buy.

As for tpi vs carb, it comes down to personal choice and your mechanical ability to set up a carb. IMO.

The fix kit is a little jet block gasket and o-ring that you get separately from the jet kit, they came damaged on a lot of the bikes!
Its cheap and made a huge difference!

I have a 2018 250 XCW, its got 54 hours and is very clean!
Thank you for the kind words Brass, yes I try to take very good care of my bikes!
Ill post it up here for sale today!

I think you just answered your own question.

Carb , cheaper . I also have a 2017 xcw forsale all done with jd kit and a bunch of other stuff forsale if interested !

I am new to this forum and wanted to ask, you said you jetted your carbs using a 42 slow jet and a 120 main jet, what are the stock jets? Just want to know how much of a difference the jets you used are from factory.

Thanks

Double check your manual it will have the stock jetting specs
