Smoothest jetting

[celler]

What needle and main jet combination gives the smoothest power transition when the power valve opens on a 2011 300? I'm currently using a NEDW 2 0r 3 depending on temperature and a 175 main. This is the best I found so far.

Some like the nedj for a 300.

Splitting hairs with the NEDJ, the difference between it and the NEDW you are using now is 0.01mm on the straight section of the needle only (say up to around 1/8th throttle). Once on the taper profile you'll be hard pressed to find anything smoother than the NExx needles.

It is quite smooth. I have found I can turn this bike with the throttle because it is so smooth. I actually run a flywheel weight to smooth the transition. What are your thoughts about richening the needle one more position? Pros and cons?

Thanks

FYI - I had a young fast rider hook up with me and we rode about and hour and he said he just could not believe how smooth I was. I asked if he wanted to try out my 300 and he said no because he did not have any money to replace his 300 KTM

You could try run it a clip richer for sure. It might start to break up a bit though. NECW is the half clip difference (leaner) if you really want to fine tune it.

I'll give it a try

Worked good going richer. Ignition map switch still was noticeable even with the richer jetting. Exhaust still clean. Just a touch darker but no drool.
