Well I know it's not a honda. But my dad has a 02 raptor, yesterday he had it all set up-Full HMF, Uni filter, GTYR jet kit, and it was running so great, could do a great wheelie in 3rd without using clutch. So last night we got our (very few hours used) hotcam stg 1 off ebay, so I installed it for my dad last night, I did everything right I believe and had no problems, I also readjusted the valves. So today we are trying to figure out the jetting and it seems to be fat but dad said(he did a plug chop) the plug says its running great. I took it for a ride, seems just a bit rich on the 1/3rd-3/4 throttle, but full and idle seems great. Now it cant do a wheelie in 3rd lik its in 4th. Any ideas? I think its jetting but dad says no.-darren

we think we figured it out, its jetting. about the wheelie thing....^:huh :huh :huh ... its frame geometry and where the weight is based, not the power.nothing against 300's, they are great but a lil 300ex dosnt have very heavy duty stuff, and it dosnt have a radiator and such.....-darren
