I got to take her for a ride this weekend

!!!! She' gonna be bad ass as soon as I can work out the jetting and triple check every bolt again. The stator backing plate bolts backed out.

not a good thing when you are have a blast on your first ride (after break in) but I made it back to the truck before they completely came off (didn't know that was the problem until I got her home and started trouble shooting) I have no issues with the Gen. 1 CR250 frame it actually vibs less than my 01' YZ250 at the pegs, I do feel a lil at the bars but it feels less than or equal to the steelie which you would expect from a 5hundy. I shimmed every engine bolt with a aluminum half washer/AN washer per AlisoBob's heads up.

I truly believe that this has lessened the vibs and created solid mounting points for the engine and has not put stress on the frame by just tightening the bolts to close the gap (I will be doing this to my 01' YZ250).

Having the suspension done by Greg at High Velocity (RaceTech) was the best investment I made during the build, well worth the money! A must for the Gen. 1 hands down. It makes a world of difference having it tuned to your riding ability, weight, ect. I can't wait to put in some serious riding time on the new suspenders!!!

Need help with jetting the PJ Carb.

1988 engine: stock head, jug slightly ported (bought it that way)
Elevation: Approx. 5352 feet above sea level
Now 75 - 85 degrees, Summer: 90-95degrees
Premium Pump Gas 40:1 (AMSOIL - Dominator)

This is how the Carb is set up as of today:
172 Main Jet
55 Pilot Jet
R1368N Needle
3rd clip from the Top
65 Slide

Bike won't idle until operating temp. The Idle adjust/Choke is nearly adjusted all the way up...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

2 turns out. I'll try the DGN, is it a different taper? 3rd clip from the top as well?

Most of my 500's ran a 172 main at 1900-2000' @ 50-80deg weather. At Coral Pink sand dunes in Ut, it's around 5500-6000', I would run a 165-168 (hot or cold).

I'll try that, any pinging with the 165-168 at the dunes??

I talked to Chad at Sudco today and he said a good rule of thumb is for every 2,000 ft. 1 down on the Main and for every 4,000 ft. 1 down on the Pilot, from the stock jetting as a base line. I will order the 165 to 170 and try the DGN needle.

I know right!!

She'll get the wheels rode off as soon as sort out the jetting. I'm going to try 168 Main, 52 Pilot and the DGN needle and hope she runs like a bat out of hell... I was told that I was riding it like my 250 and needed to short shift her to get the most out of her instead of trying to wrap it out. Learning curve i guess...

That's awesome buddy.

Maybe she tried to adjust your timing without telling you.

She has a blast in there with me, so mommy is starting to realize that she'll have a PW50 sooner then later!!! She probably has a better chance of getting the timing right then I do...
