Anyone from Alberta running a stock exhaust change their jetting on a 500?

Most riding is done in the Foothills regions ...

thx in advance

Did no one in Alberta change their own jets? I find it hard to believe these units come jetted for our area.

Everyone on this forum talks about the DJ 170 main jet but what Elevation are you guys running?

I would prefer to buy a Jet only not a Kit (it would be $75 cheaper)

I have a stock foreman and we ride at 3241 ft / 988 m as a base and we are in the mountains / foothils of good ol ******* Alberta.

The foreman therefore probably comes jetted for sea level.

Whats your jet? plug color after ridding hard and no idle? Did you buy it from your local dealer ,if so ask them.If they have been around they would know to set it up for your location

I'll be pulling the plug after the next ride...

Local dealer said they don;t change anything - they come "ready to ride"
