Blubbery vs. Crisp
So how do you like your bacon?
Kidding...
If I'm running down a road or other low "load bearing" trail my bike seems to run blubbery.
But if I'm on the gas or climbing a hill (putting "load" on the bike) it runs crisp.
Make sense? Is that the nature of the beast or a symptom of something else? Seems like is has always been that way. I tend to like my bacon chewy...

Has to do with the taper of the needle I believe.
Depends if you have been RB'd or not which needles you should try.

Let me suggest the JD Red needle for the KDX. That is what I am running and love it.

I have the same setup as you ihatefalling and I'm in middle tennessee. I just rejetted my carb for the cold weather and went with 152mj, 42pj, and DEK needle in the 4th position. In the summer, I run 150mj, 40pj, and DEK needle in the 3rd position. In both, I'm a bit fat but that's the way I like it. I have an rb'd carb, vf3, airbox top removed, and FMF rev pipe with stock silencer.
