i think i know the answer but i would like to double check my logic. i installed the kit 132/45 and the needle. My bike starts so much better and seams to pull much harder. i know for sure for the 4 or 5 minutes i tested it it did not warm up enough to know anything. i noticed if i twist the throttle normally it picks up fine but if i twist it really quick it skips a beat but does not die. I am thinking i need to get it nice and warm and see how she behaves at that point then try adusting the mix screw. sound right to you guys? i think it will probably run much better when it warm but the neighbors throw a fit when i ride it here. also yes no baffle or snorkel.

Yup...the CRF230 carb has no accelerator pump...a really fast snap of the throttle is gonna bring this. Opening the fuel screw and running the bigger pilot helps, but it's still all about the design of the carb.

Try opening up the pilot screw another 1/4 turn.

I took my bike out to shitgun this weekend and man did i love the new found response in this bike. i was having so much fun i did not check the plug all day. She started great, and ran fantastic through all rpm ranges. the only thing i did notice was how much faster she will flood when you dump it on it's side on a really steep side hill. I will pull the plug today but i do not think i will need to adjust much. With a 132/45 setup i doubt she is running too lean with the clip in the 3rd position but the plug will tell me. Thanks for your help and thanks for all the info i found on thes site.
IMO this is the way the bike should have cam stock. if you do not have a power up kit installed...DO IT!! you will enjoy it.

checked my plug and a very nice light tan now i just may have to take my bike to the sand with my son....once. just out of curiosity with the baffle removed i still have a legal spark arrestor right?

[Aussiecrf230]

The rear of the muffler has two parts.
A baffle and a mesh screen.
Leave the screen in, it is the spark arrestor.
Make sure it isn't clogged with ash. A soft brush will clean it easily. Have fun in the sand and keep your mouth closed.

will do that is good advice

I have an 08 too. I did the 132/45 and notice the same thing. Starts better, more power but it floods really easy. Especially when I'm lugging it over bumpy areas on hills. So I have found that you need to keep up the rpms. Also I live at sea level and ride up to 4000'. When I'm up in elevation it starts to get "boggy" and doesn't have that "snap". I think I need to play with the fuel screw when I'm up in the mountians. Does anyone have to do the same when they ride at a higher elevation than where they work on their bike?

I do not have a bog problem andi also ride at sea level to 4,000. i notice it will load up a little at idle but i would rather it run alittle rich then too lean. i am sure you will find it too your liking you just have to let her clear her throat once and a while. but then again here in oregon the riding season is warm but not hot. and most riding is done in or just after the rain so traction is iffy at best and you are always playing with the throttle to get it moving. you may want to lean her out some but i would wait and see if it is something you can deal with before any adjustments.

I kinda did that today when I went for a ride. I expected it to load up so I would "let it clear it's throat". After that it would run fine. I guess it's just an idiosyncracy I'll get used to.

I had the same issue with my similary uncorked 230. I simply bumped up the idle speed slighly and all the bogging is now gone. Pull hard when I snap the throttle.
