OK my Z400 has stock jetting. Will I have any problems if I go to these locations:

Swan River 1100 feet Above Sea Level
Gillam 476 feet Above Sea Level
Winnipeg 783 feet Above Sea Level

Would I have to rejet from the factory jets for any of the above locations? If a different jet is required from location to location, what jet would give me the best middle ground so I don't have to change the jet all the time. Thanks for the help.

 

I would think that you might need to check the jetting, because most of the time the stock jetting is a little bit lean. The places that you are going to are about the same in elavation, so it should not be a problem if you are about the elavation also.

 

That isn't much difference in elevation!! I can ride one day in the low desert (Glamis for example) and be below sea level, and the next be up in the mountains at over 10,000'. You can't jet for everywhere, and I can't be rejetting my bikes every weekend. I don't see any noticeable problems until I get to 6,000' and things don't get real bad until about 8,000', plus I'm usually at extreme altitude for only short periods anyway.

My point is, a little change of 1,100' is nothing at all (you didn't mean meters rather than feet, did you??)!! All the manufacturers jet lean at the factory, to meet emisions standards. So, going up a little in elevation will no doubt actually improve your performance!

 

Man, you have an elevation change of only 624 feet. That's like riding from the bottom to the top of Sand Mountain in Utah which takes about 15 to 150 seconds depending on your machine.

Now I know why people keep stopping halfway up the hill to work on their machines, they're rejetting [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Ok, enough joking. Seriously, until you hit about 3000 feet I wouldn't worry about it, especially with a 4 stroke.
