Yeah sorry for the confusion, when i said that "if you want your bike to run optimal you will adjust jetting seasonally" i just meant that jetting is affected by the weather so you should notice changes between temps, most people don't change jetting every season just cuz PITA. but then again, MX dirtriders jet every race!

But in a perfect world i would jet for seasonal temps but i'm lazy. Like others have said, you find a happy median. If you jet your bike to run optimal in cooler atmospheric temps it will run slightly rich at higher atmospheric temps which is safe as opposed to having it run lean in cooler temps.

good luck keep us posted.
