Honda manual carb settings.

The question is what do you guys think of the factory set up settings for altitude and temperature outlined in the factory manual, good or bad?

O.K. a little background, I have read all the carb set up stickys. My bike is bone stock. I am not much of a fiddler, I pretty much ride whatever is underneath me, suspension and carb adjusting is not my strong suit. I run 32 to 1 which is the same as the manuals setting.

Getting ready for Hoonfest...I look in the Honda manual. I check the area where we will be riding and I go with the Honda setting for 1000 to 2500 ft and fron 59 to 80 degrees. I set everything where the book says to put it.

I usually just do what the book says and then ride it, as long as I don't hear it detonating...good enough. What do you think...any recomendations better than Honda stuff.

I know get a PWK...thats just not happening before Hoonfest.

You won't need the PWK for that ride.

Only two things I would do for that ride. I've been there twice but haven't made the last couple of years.

The manual / stock needle is 1368 try the 1468 or DGJ.

Use a 13 tooth sprocket, helps prevent stalling.

Bring Camel pack with lots of water.

Ok thats three........

Appreciate tha advise and all is noted.

Carb assumptions sound O.K. ?

Does anyone else run a stock carb at this place if so what are your settings?

Get a 1470/DGL needle 55 or 52 pilot 172 or 175 main a few bottles of Blendzall or 927 mix it @ 40-1 ( 1 pint to 5gl ) you'll be good to go...
