All my bikes are jetted pretty well and they all will also idle indefinately, i'm open to learning new things though so could someone please explain why a 2t MX bike shouldn't idle.

I know the factory Yamaha's were set not to idle; I would guess most of the factory and top pro ones did not.

Is was done for a couple reasons, to help off idle throttle response and help with jetting.  My '06 YZ250 will idle for about 15 seconds (I am not in serach of that last bit of response as I can't tell the difference  )  This wasn't done by leaning it to where it wouldn't idle, the pilot was set correctly but my understanding was the throttle stop screw was set for no idle.

I used to have a good article by Dick Lechien (Ron Lechien's father) on setting up the idle, I'll se if I can find it or a link to it).

I'll second it.

So you do know what a ratio-rite is for then  

Nice to see you here!

Thanks!  The editors at DR are a great bunch of guys and gals!  I think they give due coverage to the 2-strokes.

Thanks for the welcomes.  I took the picture before the first ride this year.  Besides my normal yearly maintenance I sprang for new plastics and graphics this year.

Hello,

I kinda stumbled onto this forum from a post in another site and since I am a 2-stroke fan decided to sign up after looking around a bit.

I have been riding dirt bikes since 1974.  My current bike is a 2006 YZ-250, my son rides a 2008 YZ-125.

Dirt Rider generally has a good amount of 2-stroke coverage.  They also recently had similar ride reports on the YZ250 and KTM 250SX.
