Im ordering a used air Striker for my 2002 cr125. I’m wondering two things.
Which bike would have closest jetting to start off with?
2 there are a lot of fake air strikers that say keihin on them and look genuine. So is there any way to tell for sure that it is a genuine one and not a knockoff

This is what you need.
I second @Tumic commen, get the JD carb, it comes with JD's blue and red needle.
I bought mine at JD Jetting and put it on my 01 CR125R. Prob the best upgrade you can put on it.
Yeah I’ve seen those and I’m sure it’d be the best option. But used ones go between 100$ and 200$. I know it would be much easier but I’m not sure I’m convinced it would be worth an extra 3-400$. Especially considering I would still probably have to mess with the jetting, although much less. I was considering trying to find the same carb used, then buying a jet/needle kit from them. If that worked out I would be all in between 2-300 instead of 500

Is there any reason why you got it from jd jetting. Aside from it already being semi setup for the cr? And how well was it setup from them? Did you have to mess with it much to get it to run well?
I had my mechanic install it and do the jetting and all but I was unsure exactly which one to buy so I messaged JD Jetting and they sent me a link and assured me which version would work best. He did have a slightly hard time at first getting the airboot to fit on the carb but he heated the rubber up with hot water and it did the trick . It runs great, other than the fact that the bike just has a narrow power band. Great mid range and top end, but no bottom so at all so you have to keep it on the pipe and not short shift it. For the most part it’s super crisp at all the local tracks. I run T2 only because it is a former Team ECC race engine with some porting done to it and I put a race head on it from BUD Racing so it seems to run like crap with pump gas. I grew up on 4 strokes so staying on the pipe is easier said than done for me but I try.
