Adding a better exhaust doesnt mean you have to rejett the carb. i run a DG or if i am bored i put on my Cobra. Rejetting is really required when an over bore is done and a bigger cam. Rejetting is changing the internal jets in the carb, which without the right skills and knowledge can lead to either running the engine too lean(not enough fuel which will fry the piston and rings) or running it too rich ( too much fuel) which will build carbon up on your plug and valves. But if all your doing is ehaust you dont need to rejet the carb. when i run my Cobra muffler its noticeably more powerful and the DG does the same. I have a complete stock motor and with my exuast and K&N air filter gives me all the power i need.

Thanks for breakin it down for me. Im thinkin im gonna go with a DG pipe, the k and n filter is definitally needed. What do u think of Duro Thrasher tires. I found this site Vinces Cycles, they have a " Performance Carb" but the site looks a little fishy, has anyone dealt with vinces cycles before?

Vince is a great guy but he is only doing crank rebuilds now. The Duro Thrashers are a throw away tire. i had a set of those, they tend to wear out prematurely. i would go with kendas or a 4 ply dunlop. if you ride alot like me then definately go with the kendas they are a 6 ply but sticky compound great for loose and hard pack terrain. and as for the DG, if you dont mind a loud pipe the DG RCM is awsome. well pretty much all the DG's for 230s are great. My Cobra Alumnium muffler is probly the loudest though. And for air filters youre not just limited to K&N, UNI makes a good filter too nut the K&N the expensive one is washable and lasts forever if properly maintained.

If you start mixing and matching a carb/cam/exhaust upgrade, or any of those 2, all bets are off and you will be doing some carb work.

When I put the Motoworks pipe on my DVX, Motoworks said to lift the clip 2 notches, and back the mixture out 3-1/2 turns. Stock jet was recommended. When I was doing that, I found that the needle was a non-adjustable type so I shimmed it up with two itty bitty washers.
Runs like a champ.
But bashr, I do agree with you as well. If I were to remove my airbox lid, I would need to bump up the main jet to a 160 per motowork's recommendations. I ride in too wet of conditions however to have my airbox lid off.

and no you dont need to replace your pressure plate.

never had good luck with those tires on anything! but i guess it really comes down to where youre riding, although they didnt seem to work particularly well anywhere...
