So I have a 99 rm250 that's got a full fmf fatty with powercore 2 ,v force delta 2, new aftermarket rads, fresh rebuild stock piston and rings, and stock everything else. I will say its pretty snappy now but im looking for more top speed and wanted to see what i could do to increase the top speed on it.

Turn it against the light spring you feel. (Top of grip towards the rear of bike.)
Bike should get louder/faster.

Colin - you might get a little more direct help in the tech section or you could start doing some
of your own searching around on two stroke tuning basics.
I had a 95 RM 250. It was a problematic bike for me. More of a gun and run type of bike that fell flat on top. Your 99 is a much better platform.

We have traditionally had jetting problems with Suzukis and ‘99 was no different. It was rich. Here is what we ran in our bike for SoCal’s sea level tracks. Stock setting in parentheses:
Mainjet: 152 (158 stock)
Pilot jet: 42 (45 stock)
Power Jet: 55
Needle: N1EG
Slide: 6.0
Air screw: 1 1/2 turns
Clip: Groove number 2
Note: The RM250 is very rich. The first step to getting it to run clean is to drop the main from 158 to 152. We also lowered the pilot, but some conditions may not require this (turning the air screw out to two turns could clean up the very bottom).
I found in some years the pc pipe and the dep pipe made better topend on the rm250s.
