I think I have found some of the answer:
Idle: 65
Needle: N3EW
Main: 178
PJ: 95
Slide: 7 (Reffed part number and googled old YZ250 jetting threads to see what people wrote about the slide)
https://www.actionsportstx.com/Parts/Parts-Viewer/yamaha/motorcycles/20…
Check the YZ125X 2023 jetting thread here at Vital.
My current YZ125 2022 setup for Finnish sand track:
185 main
50 pilot
35 powerjet
5.5 slide
CCG needle, #3
Air screw 3/4 turns
36:1
Still need to go up 52-55 pilot and I believe it should be good "all season" setup with air screw adjustment only. I'm nowhere close to expert in jetting, just wanted to compeletely get rid off that bog as it creates not so fun situations in deep-ish sand (as I'm also not so expert in riding
).

Where did you get the slide and needle from in Europe?

I got my slide from https://www.ktmschnellversand.de/ . Might have been the last one as it seemed to be very old stock. KTM part number is 54631235055, good luck. Maybe the #7 slide will work too as it is still standard in 2026 but haven´t tested. Check the other thread for needle holder information, you need different non-spring-loaded needle holder too.
Needles I have purchased from https://www.frankmxparts.com/ and https://braigasen.se/
I have tried at least N3CW, CCK, N8RW, and always felt that the richer needle / clip I went, it was always better until CCG #4 clip started to feel tad rich.
I'm very curious to see what the '26 YZ125 will be running for jetting as well. Also curious how the revised intake will be... I want to get one but not going through the jetting nightmare again if it isn't fixed. Looking forward to a review once someone gets ahold of one..
My guess is that intake box is only modified so that it fits same throttle position sensor as in yz250 which has cable pointing downwards. But just a guess.
Has anyone got their hands on a '26 YZ125 yet??
I just had a 26 on the dyno, jetting out of the crate was
MJ178s
PJ 65
N3EW NEEDLE 2ND CLIP FROM THE TOP
How'd she do?
I’ve got 1 coming before Christmas. Hopefully the jetting is fixed.
I have a 5.5 slide here which I think came stock on a Beta with a PWK. So you may be able to source a 5.5 as an OEM Beta part.
I have a few OEM 5.5 and 6.0 slides still, if anyone needs one. just send me a PM.
