No it isnt hard and the only way you need to rejet is if you add a pipe, do major engine work, or sometimes just even add an air filter...

Basicly you go by the symtoms, and the evidence(such as spark plug condition). Its not tough to learn, and isnt tough to do.

Then ask your questions .

Jetting is a trial and error process. The more you mess around with it the better you'll get at it. Then when your good enough you'll become a jet-i-master...
