1/3rd of total suspension travel. So if it has 9" then set it at 3".

Yes they are rich, go down one size on the pilot. Here's what i run, with a VForce and shorty muffler,stock header pipe, 42 pilot, 140 or 142 main jet for sand tracks, and a KG needle (yamaha) 2nd clip, 2 to 2 1/2 turns out on the air screw, depending on conditions. Some guy's change out the slide in the carby as well, and use one from a kx 85.
