Not a bad article, but i reckon marking your throttle housing and doing plug chops is still your best bet.

There are a lot of "younger" riders on this forum.  Based on the questions I've seen, many have no idea how to properly jet their bike, I've seen a few have asked where the jet were located. All of us were in their shoes before. They are just trying to educate themselves.  I think the article is a great 1st step.  Many do not understand the gains made by properly jetting their bikes, nor do they have the expertise or experience to jet their bikes.  For a few dollars spent on different jets and needles, and some time with a notepad, the power gains and knowledge can be the difference of a bike that runs as intended or one that runs like crap.... Lets keep this thread going with general how tips to jet our bikes. I too am not a jetting expert....  so I too love to learn more about the art of jetting our bikes.
