KTM 150 XC W-E 100% fun factor

This being said, I now own a Woods bike which is used 99% of the time used in single track riding. I added the protection on it. Mostly EE gear, handguards, skid plate, radiator, F/R rotor guards. Also did a EE low seat but it wasn´t bad, just I am 5.6´ and the lower seat helps me in the woods. 

It has the low end grunt with the 6-speed wide ratio transmission which will lug through the woods. Setup is fine. Good quality on machine and bike. Offers F/R lights, Kick start and E-start. E-start is a nice option when needing a start on a hill and also works with clutch pulled in and in gear. 

Bike runs great and is all of what is expected in a race ready bike. Recently I have read of some issues that got my attention. It has the Mikuni TMX38 carburetor on it. For some reason there is a lot of haters on this. Surprising because in the 1960s we had bikes made in japan that lasted for years. I have had Keihin carburetors that had to be jetted and re-worked on also. 

All this being said, I did replace the Jet block seal and float needle o-ring purchased from JD jetting as a fix for the blurbly condition ( Dollars 7.95). This all due to the seal being deformed or starting to deform. Also, I inspected the stock reed cage while I was in there and I did have light about a dime on the right and left side. 

 So, Bit the bullet and purchased the V-force4r reed cage setup to eliminate the blurb after coming out of woods and then hitting the throttle blast circuit. I went this route because I can´t see spending more extra money on a Lectron or Keihin. I am using the motorex 2T premix and 4T trans fluids. Carburetor setup is 6BFY43-74 needle, 2nd clip pos, 470 Main, 30 IdleJet, 1.5 air. 

The manual listing is really helpful to the user to jet for your location. For what I do with the bike is fine and suits my needs as a weekend rider and occasional poker run. To old now to race anymore. So, as far now I have a very dependable fine running dirt bike that I know will give me years of fun woods riding. 

The lightness, power, gearing makes it a little mountain goat and brings a smile to me. Fun factor = 100%.
