On my 2008 cr 144 I went from a 35 pilot jet to 30 and found the bike ran the same as with 35 pilot no bog still. The only part I do not like is the bike when cold will idle really fast till it warms up takes couple mins for idles to slow down. Does this mean pilot is to small. If I adjust idle to slow down for cold motor it will not idle when hot. Thanks for any help. I am thinking about switching back to 35 pilot.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

What is your air screw set at? How many turns?
1 3/4 turns was closer to 2 1/2 turns with 35 pilot if I remeber right. The bike jetting is close only problem is when comming out of a corner when I pin full throttle bike take 1/2 sec to react. I use to slip clutch a little but is not needed all I do now is close and open throttle and it gone or just wait both ways act just like I slipped clutch. Adjusting air screw does help a little but still not as crisp down low as my sons 2010 yz 125 those bike are jetted perfect from factory. I have also just got use to pinning throttle at 1/4 way around turn knowing it will not kick in till I am 1/2 way around. Bike does not sound like it dying from being to lean or blurbling from being to rich just delayed response. I have tried to move igntion forward and back no difference. I have also put smaller sprocket on motor and did help the way bike handles but did not get rid of bottom throttle delay. I also changed power valve springs which move powerband lower and last little longer which i like bit did not effect bottom end delay problem. This is not a bog problem just a throttle reponse problem at lower rpms once bike starts to kick in it rips froms low all the way to a very fast high end. Changing pilot made no difference just affected the way bike idles Thanks for any help
The temp I ride at are from 50-86 f and live at 1700 feet above sea level. I do have a 35 and 40 pilot but thought the 40 would be to rich but should be worth a try. The bike came with 35 stock and was good with stock 125 and 30 was to lean so my thinking was with 144 the 30 should be about right since it sounded like with the 144 kit everybody was going down one jet size. Thanks again. One more thing I should add is this bikes starts good cold or hot first or second kick everytime no matter what jetting I had in bike.
