Question
hola Mitch,

i just got my new 2007 ktm 250 exc,euro version,put away all the regulators and the thing runs smooth but don't gets the high rpms,i live in costa rica,sea level 30/35 Celsius,run 165/high, needle 3rd position,35/low,1 turn air,tried many different settings ,like 162,more and less air,if i go more than 165 i cannot ride long anymore and i need to go long sometimes to get fuel,any help would be more than welcomed...a little dissapointed because i just gave my old 200 ktm/exc away and with the manual that little beast run better than my new 250,

thanks for your help,
saludos
