I was searching on this site .. and read that when you bumb the compression up .. you have to go DOWN in jet size .. he said he went to a 12:1 in his 200x and had to go 8 jet sizes.. he was at like a 100 jet size...

you cant base jetting over the internet for worth a crap, get them from your honda dealer, i would highly doubt that you need a 140, go up 5 sizes to start and go from there

They pull up the type of carb then look on the OEM michrofiche to see the style of jet. My dealer then ordered jets through Parts Unlimited or similar. Ordered jets for my 350X, 250R and my Suzuki 4WD golfcart that way...

Just take your main jet out and take it with you. Each brand carb has different types of jets. Keihin uses two that I know of, long hex and short hex, depending on which carb. Every dealer around here has boxes of jets under the counter, not referenced to any particular make and model machine. The one time I had a friend get some for his quad, they looked it up, and all they had was Honda Part Number, didnt know what size or what type. If you take your jet, they will easily identy it at a glance and pull out the correct type. Before you go buy any jets I strongly suggest you run some plug checks and see where you need to go with it.
