My last 2 pistons had almost no carbon on the power valve. Also rejetting often helps keep it running at peak air fuel wherever you ride.

I put about 4 hours on my TX300 before I touched the jetting. Figured I would leave it rich for the break in. I decided to do the slide mod to it that many people have done to help clean up the Mikuni at the time I changed the jetting. To my surprise when I went riding this week, the bike ran much worse. Was horribly rich. I had planned on putting a JD jetting kit and a V-Force reed block in it at some point so this made it happen right away.
I found the root of the problem when I installed the new parts.

Moto Tassarini doesn't list a part for the 2018 TX300 yet, but I bought the vforce 4 reeds for the 2019 TC250 assuming it will be the same. I'll report when I fit them up.
That stock Reed failure is ridiculous!

Everyone I know that has one loves it. Several people in the USRA circuit say they get so much better power due to proper jetting they can pull a gear taller on the same sections.

Nice.
I think I’m going to give it a try.
Wanna sell it Strat? Is it the 3” longer cable?

Looks like it’s a different part number from my bike to yours

It's the 38mm high velocity with 3"+ cable
Same part number in a YZ250. I need to try it and see if it's worth the hype. I've had decent luck tuning carbs. Lots of practice.

Would you like me to jet your 300 for you? I think I remember it being a little lean

When did Cheston get another bike, and when are we doing another RME ride. Stratton was just telling me he had never been to white wash.

I was going to go last weekend. But my ribs were still too sore, (I definitely have at least one cracked). Let's go this next week though.

I never sold my 08 300. But it sat for the last couple years or so.
I was all gung ho on riding this summer but work got the better of me. Only got out 3 times. And it’s like I’m completely starting over again
So...
I don’t think my jetting is off. Once the thing is running, it seems to be good. It definitely was lean when I brought it home but have been tinkering with it
It’s just miserable to get started. Once warm it isn’t too bad now.
My other complaint is the slight bog just over idle. I’ve heard it’s really common and I’ve heard the lectron eliminates that
Maybe I have other issues that isn’t even carb related. I don’t know
I would be down for another RME ride but all you guys are so friggin fast now and I’ve only gotten slower with age.
