Hi Lads, Just to add to this, my 2015 300exc was using a tank of petrol to everybody's half tank, It was proper rubbish to the point of spoiling rides, I know it was being run in but never the less. Everyone on KTMForum.com seems to be going for a 38 Pilot, 165 main Jet & an RM250 needle NECJ, second clip from top (pt no: 13383 37FE0) with the air screw at 1.75 turns out, this is supposed to be the best you can get it, Big Orky did his the other week & is so said smack on and very noticeable in crispness, fuel & pretty much everything else, I will be doing mine the same when I get back home. hope this helps someone.
