The MCP needle profile is very different than stock and other aftermarket kits. Nothing special about the jets, just sized appropriately. Somewhere on his page there is a photo comparison. I made the change from stock, which does provide a very positive and noticeable difference over stock, especially on the low end, but then any good kit should, right? I've only had it in for a few hundred miles and haven't really checked but the gas milage remains unchanged, I haven't pulled the plug, but there is no indication that it is running rich. I'll date myself by saying that this is the first time I went through a carburetor by myself since my RD and H2 days, so I just followed instructions. I don't know much about CV carbs, but I suspect what makes it good is the needle that he found for it. It's a good product. I recommend it.

I did the Klx needle and jet to 142. The response I get now is very linear and smooth. I have a Yoshi and snorkel delete. My mileage has dropped about 3 mpg on the last two tanks, so I’ll be interested to see if that trend continues. Haven’t had an occasion to check the plug again, but will probably after summer.
