    Could you link some pilot jets?

      :311670245943 eBay item no.
      No I didn’t mean the yeis bottle I was referring to the other one on the air box side of the carb.

            Yes that’s the one. l would love to see the maths behind it,unfortunately dtpedia.de doesn’t mention it when referring to the vergaser or carburettor as we know it.

              @Calum is it really a restrictor?

                @irongamer727 Not to my knowledge, the little box on the side of the air box can also be found on the competition bike WR200, they wouldn't restrict a competition bike. At least that's what @AndyYam told me. And he has a lot of experience with all of that.

                Secondly, the PowerJet, to my knowledge (Happy to be corrected) is a clever mechanism to lean the fuel off at wide open throttle, when actually you don't need as much fuel.

                The logic is that at WOT, you should be easing off the load of the engine and now it's all about refining that combustible mix. The leaner you can run that engine, the better the burn of combustible mix can be.

                The trick is to lean it off as much as possible, without causing detonation.

                  Removed that little airbox bottle on mine, can't say I noticed any difference but bike runs strong with pleanty pull with it removed and plugged.

                    @glynn123 There are better ways to restrict the bike than some plastic box on the inlet tract lol.

                    I don't know the science behind it, I figured it would work in a similar fashion to the YEIS. But it's as mystery.

                    The DTRE also had YAIS as well.

                      My Haynes manual says stock pilot jet fit the Dtx is 17.5? What the hell? Thought it was 25.

                            So I was finally able to unscrew my pilot jet for my dtx. It is a nightmare to start now with the Athena kit. I looked in the Haynes manual and it claimed stock pilot jet for the dtx was 17.5.
                            Mine was a 35! What on earth? How is it possible it is hard to start NOW and not when it was 100% stock?

                              Either way, it is too big right?

                                  Ask any tuner how to set up a carburettor and you'll get the same response.

                                  It depends on your setup.

                                  Everything from Atmospheric conditions to state of the engine and even altitude will affect jetting.

                                  It's imperative that ones carb is tuned to these varying conditions.

                                  20 years ago, Yamaha spent thousands on designing the perfect carburettor settings to get the DT roughly in the right ball park.

                                  The moment you started modifying the bike, you throw all of Yamaha's hard work out the window.

                                  Just because it had some ridiculous settings on it, doesn't necessarily mean it was wrong.

                                  Jetting should be done to suit, and there is reams of guides on here to help you get the bike in right area.

                                      @irongamer727 I’m a firm believer in leaving things the way they are and not thinking I’m better than the designers.
                                      To answer your question 35 is very big for your carb.
                                      Does Athena give any tips on resetting.
                                      You say it’s hard to start, have you checked the fuel feed pipe when the cold start lever is on as it’s very narrow and often gets blocked.

                                        @kevin nope. Athena don't give any recommendations at all. Do you mean the fuel hose itself? That's brand new. The choke works, could there be some debris in the mechanism you think?

                                          @irongamer727 thin brass pipe near to the hole the pilot jet drops in is the fuel pipe whilst on the choke cycle, very thin wire needs poking down to the bottom and then through the cross holes.
