People ask about jetting stuff all the time. The only answer I have heard that makes sense is all motors are different get a good baseline for you elavation type of riding etc etc and then start testing from there. Remember to have a fesh packed silencer as it will effect jetting.

the only problem with the 01 cr is the limited stock and aftermarket parts True but not as bad as you would think. Its more plastics and bullshit like that.
