I have the 2017 Beta 300RR with the stock Keihin PXK 36mm carb, it came from the factory with a N2ZW needle w/clip on 2nd ring, 165 Main jet, 38 pilot jet. I have been riding from 2500 feet to 7000 feet in Tucson AZ with winter temps about 55-70F. I have not had to change anything yet, the power band is so smooth and wide it is just not asking for me to tinker with the carb at all.
I know when the heat hits I will need to adjust, so I purchased a 35 pilot, a N2ZJ and N2ZK needle, and 162, 160, and 158 main jets for my tool kit. My first adjustment for the heat will be to change to the N2ZJ needle I can then easily drop the main jet as things get warmer. This Keihin carb runs good. I was surprised I didn't have to change out anything going up to 7000 ft. I'm very happy with the stock jetting for now, it's perfect for the Tucson winter from 2500 to 7000feet. I am still running a little oil in the gas while I learn to trust the oil injection, that leans the mixture a bit.
