86 250r cant hold 6th gear
Hey guys,
Irecently went to dumont sand dunes by baker california with my R. I weigh about 205 lbs, have 21" Geckos and stock gearing, PSI pipe, k&n with outerwear (no lid). As I was riding across the flat areas in 6th gear, the motor could not hold rpm, and would decelerate forcing a downshift to 5th. there is only about 3 rides on a fresh topend. Im thinking maybe main jet is a hare too rich, cuz if the bike is idling and you rev it hard, smoke comes out pretty thick, thick enough to see easily anyways. Is it normal for an R to not hold 6th gear just cuz its in the sand? Thanks for any help you can offer...

If you have no porting and stock compressoin. I would say your pretty close. maybe a 158. Before you jett try changing your gearing. In this sport one thing I have learned is to only chane one thing at a time. when peaple have probs with there bikes, a lot of them but 10 things at once to fix it. it only makes it more diffacult to find out what the prob was/is. do small changes at a time so you can pin point every nook and crannie problem. re grear. ride and then decide if that was the prob. most likely its just your gearing. I hope you understand my point a lot of peps dont. (more or less my best friend I dragged into this sport and think they know everythig lol).
