Foxx4Beaver:
it's possible....try a leak down test...that will tell you right away....just don't go any leaner yet!...maybe some of the other guys will have other ideas and possibilities you can try.
you're already quite lean,and you will fry that top end if you go much leaner.

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..

I just stuck my piston running a 165 main.......careful with that :wink:

serafin:
Pilot sounds a bit lean to me

conbread:
i seen that sorry man.. all i know to do is read the spark plug and it will tell you about everything..
USMC How did your plug look?

i will have the video up in the morning and mabey you guys can watch it and see if you hear anything that sounds weird.. would i be loosing oil if the crank seals are badd?

Foxx4Beaver:
yes....you will be using oil.
