5.Jetting

Scrambler 500 the formula is 155x.85=131.75.
However, there is not a jet this size so I went with a
135. For a Dyno Jet use a 138 and readjust your
needle to the second notch. Needle adjustment is for
dyno jets only don't adjust stock needles.

Jetting

For jetting for Colorado multiply your stock jet size by .85

For a Dyno Jet get a jet that is 4 smaller than the one they
sent you, they will give it to you for free. Be sure to adjust
your needle on your Dyno Jet.

1.Brakes

Do the same thing as done for the Polaris

2.Jetting

300EX the formula is 122x.85=103.7

However there is not a jet this size so go with a 102

Problem: Fly wheel is scraping the plastic cover.

Solution:

1. Make sure the rubber seal separating the two
covers is still good.

2. If still scraping replace the plastic cover.

Tires

If you are changing your tires but don't want to spend $20 a tire
to have it done this how to do it at home.

1. Put 1/2 lbs of pressure in your tire

2. Hit tire with a sledge harmer as close to your tire as you can .
Be sure not to hit your rims, you might want to take a few
practice swings before doing this. Use caution while doing this.
This sounds fare fetched but it will work.
