conbread:
ok guy got to do some riding today, ive got the susp dialed in to my style.. now working on jetting..

the bike has
165m
50p
n82n 2nd clip
#7 slide
motul oil that most of yall run
and renegade fuel
40:1 mix
br8eg
and boysen superstock reeds with moose spacer..
with this jetting the plug is still black and i have a wet tip on the end of the pipe.. this is the same weather im killing it on a dirt road or lugging it thru some tight stuff.. down low it seems like its loaded up but will clean right out and rip up top..
I dropped down from a 52p and it cleaned it up some, so what should i do next?

drop the pilot again?
drop the main?
raise the needle to the top spot?
just trying to get a clean tan looking plug and dry out the silencer.... thanks for the tips..
also im on the East coast i guess thats y my jetting is so much diff from what you guys run...
Video will be up tomm and u guys can hear the bike..

Foxx4Beaver:
sounds like you should do a compression test....to be that lean on your jetting,and still have a black/wet plug does'nt sound right.You're leaner than I am,and my plug's always a nice medium brown.

I'm running
 168m
 52p
 2nd notch
 stock needle
 2 1/4 out on air

 I'm at 250'-500' above sea level,and I'm on the lean side.

conbread:
the bike has a new piston and rings 2nd ride on it... seems to have tons of comp kicking it over..

Foxx4Beaver:
how much assembly lube did you use when you put it together?....could just be that you still need to burn some off.

conbread:
i made it nice and slick but nothing crazy.. ive ran almost 10 gallons thru it...

could it be pulling oil thru the crank seals and crapping up the plug?
