yz250 jetting
I understand there are still a few yz250 2-strokers out there so just inquiring about your jetting settings for our altitude? Plan on breaking in the bike at wildrose whenever it opens but it would be nice to have a good baseline to start with and make adjustments while I am there.
Factory settings are 178 main and 50 pilot right now.
Thanks.

Re: yz250 jetting
Probably a 165 main and a 48 pilot just for the break in period then I will work from there. Dave gave me a good baseline but with the Eric Gorr porting and the 295 big bore kit it was suggested by him (Eric Gorr) to slightly raise the pilot and drop the main by one. I'll keep the needle in middle 3rd clip.

Interesting. That sounds like a cool machine. I haven't heard of Eric Gore since I rode a yz250! I used his advice on my 91 yz250 and it worked out great.

Re: yz250 jetting
The guy has been around for a long time now, he actually answers his phone an not some lacky. I went with a broad power band porting package, spreads the power throughout the rpms and almost eliminating the hit all together which is kind of strange for a 2 stroke. I guess I will find out. I offered Steve-o a rip and you are more than welcome to try it out.dirtyboy wrote:Interesting. That sounds like a cool machine. I haven't heard of Eric Gore since I rode a yz250!
