Powerband too short
Foxx4Beaver:
If you set the clip to the 3rd position,pay close attention to how it runs compared to the 2nd position where it is now....you will lose a considerable amount of crispness and snap.I've run in both positions and found it runs much cleaner in the 2nd position...I've also changed my needle to the N82T from the N82R a couple weeks ago..(even leaner)...in the 2nd position...and I'm extremely happy with it now....it's all gonna depend on your preferences which you like better.
sandblaster:
Mine pings like crazy at the 2nd from the top position, but different temps, humidity, altitude, engine condition, fuel, premix, riding style, and boot size all play a part :-)
Foxx4Beaver:
yup...not everyone can get away with the 2nd clip....that's why my 1st sentence said to pay close attention to how it runs.
If I go to the 3rd...it's just too fat...and it has a completely different exhaust tone when in the 3rd that just sounds "rich". :-)

Yeah, but you know I can't read :-P
Foxx4Beaver:
haha....that's ok...about this time of night,I'm lucky if I can even speak....frozen mudslides have been going down like water with how hot and humid it's been here on the east coast the last couple weeks.
