[QUOTE="Mooney 78865, post: 32941, member: 175"] It sounds like you are getting a new bike. That being the case you will have "spares" for the carb from KTM. (there is a reason they are expensive.LOL) an assortment of needles, pilot and main jets. I wouldn't worry about a JD jet kit. At most you will need a needle and that is only about 8 bucks. There will be [B][I][U]A LOT[/U][/I][/B] of information regarding the set up for suspension and carbaration..You should get a briefcase and a number of full page manuals. It won't be the little 3" X 5" booklet you get with Japanese bikes. KTM is the real deal and they seem to take pride in their equipment and want their riders armed with as much information as they can provide. The biggest problem I find with people and 2 strokes is they do not know what they are "feeling" and struggle providing proper feed back to make informed decisions on carb set up. Detonation, "pipe bang", run on, that type of stuff. Shoot me a PM we can talk. Oh yeah, unless they changed for 2011 you will need a skid plate. $100.00 [/QUOTE]
