Hi

I have a 2002 290 which i bought 6 mnths ago. It has never ran 100% from day 1 so ive given it a full strip down. In the carb i have a 126 main jet and a 30 pilot jet. Are these correct for uk conditions?

Also if i do need to change the jetting where is the best place to get them and are jets all the same size - i.e will jets off other bikes fit as D&K motorcycles is only up the road.

many thanks

Main jet is ok.Pilot is a tad lean,should be 33.You can get spare from eurocarb,they have a web site i think

I bought a 04 290 18 months ago,that never run right either.Messed about with diffrent jets etc.Eventualy took it to bike shop,turned out piston was in wrong way round.Runs sweeet now

Good luck

I would think you should notice much better low end power with a 33 pilot. If you run the main at around 120 it will rev out cleaner and quicker!

3rd groove on the needle and about 3 1/2 turns out on the mix screw(will vary).
