Why is my bike running so lean
My mods are in my sig, and my jetting is 195 and 200 on the mains, and 27.5 pilots. I thought the bike was running lean so I took it to the dealership, and they put a probe in the exhaust to find out what the air fuel is, and they told me that it was running lean. I had them tinker with the carbs to try and richen it up some, but it is still a little on the lean side. Any ideas on what needs to be done to fix this problem. Thanks

Well you should have aftermarket needles, either dynojet or gytr depending on what mains you're running. But that is your problem, your needles need to be on the 4th or probably even 5th clip (from top to bottom).

i have a set of gytr needles I will put those in and see if it helps. Someone suggested using my stock needles so I did, but I will try the GYTR needles and lift them up some and see if it helps at all.
