It's crazy to me some people can feel such small changes in suspension. Someone could run by my pit, turn my clickers 10 clicks in any direction, and I'd never know lol

All the way out until it stops then screw it back in.

The only time the 35 pilot works for me is when it’s in the 30’s out. If I leave it in and run warmer temps I get a hesitation/bog between jumps. There is just too much fuel for the air temps to burn for that split second.

If it was me I’d leave everything the same as you had it and drop the pilot to a 32.5. If you notched the slide then the pilot circuit if more efficient and needs a smaller pilot or it will be rich.

I think the 42-71 is the standard needle for 2021-2022. I missed that going a clip richer helped. If so I would try the 3rd clip and try a smaller pilot to see if that gets the 1/8-1/4 livable but ultimately you may need a 42-72 or 71 needle. I think guys with the cut slides are running the 71 needle.

Picture to save on your phone for easy reference at the track.

The KTM manual shows most of the needles they sell. 71-75 is the needle diameter (2.71-2.75mm.). The larger the number the larger the diameter. This is for the thin end of the needle. 42-44 are half clip richer as the number increases so 43 half clip richer than 42. There is also a 44 which should be a full clip richer than the 42. What I don't know is if the taper is different between those 3 or if you get the same taper with the clip positions shifted down the needle.

I gave and extensive explanation about this on a thumper talk thread. I’m RTV over there. https://www.thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1223312-discontinued-mikuni-ne…

At sea level and those low temps, if it was me I'd start at 32.5 with the notch and also clip-3 on the needle.

Agreed.

I’ll agree with this. I would even order a. 1/2 clip position richer 43-74 needle for those temps, just to have
