Ok... I dunno if the air gets thinner or thicker when it gets hot, that would be a thing to find out, if it gets thicker get a bigger jet, if its thinner get a smaller get, but it shouldnt afect it too much.:ermm:

a bike will be alittle quicker in colder weather given you have it jetted correctly. colder air is more dense. thus, a larger jet is used in colder weather. what mods do you have done to your bike and what mainjet do you have in?

Yes, I run a 162 main normally, but sometimes a 160 main in hot humid weather, and 165 main in winter.
