I find it interesting to talk with people in the same state. Sometimes our western and southern friends do not understand cold and the impact on jetting. I just wanted to see how your's was running in the cold weather. Have you changed anything, Jetting? I just picked mine up and I am concerned that the jetting is too cold to even consider breakin until I jet up. any advice would be appreciated.

Hi 300,
As long as you ride a quad, I don't care what brand you ride. I was just looking for some jetting info for the cold weather. In the past I have run a 2stroke, This is my first thumper in a while...When the temp drops down to freezing, what kind of changes do you make? go up 1 or 2 on the main,pull the needle up 1 or 2 positions, richen the fuel screw or maybe go up on the pilot? I'd appreciate your feedback.

My Raptor acted a little funny. the stock jetting isnt right. i would try changing the needle positon and adjusting the idle mixture screw. i cant say what jetting to run cause i have a pipe on it and have mine jetted way up. I would also like to get together with some people and go riding sometime. My old riding crew is pretty much all gone.

I have a small track at my parents place in Kenosha County. Otherwise we go up north of Rhinelander to ride the trails there. But the best of all is Silver Lake Michigan Sand Dunes...I would be more than happy to organize a spring trip
