could someone enlighten me on how to tell the difference on if I am running too rich or too lean?
And how to fix both?

 

Pull your plugs outta your machine. Look at the plug.... if it is white or real light tan then you are lean. To fix this go to a larger jet size. (only one size bigger and see what it does)

If you look at your plug and is dark black or a real dark dark tan then you are rich. To fix this you can do a number of things Ex. Get a new air filter (k&n, twin air, unifilter, etc.) Put a new pipe on. Cut in a air vent into your air box. Get a snorkle. Or you can always rejet to a smaller jet size.

Rejeting your machine will be the biggest change in rich or lean ness. If you decide to rejet just go one size smaller or larger depending on if your rich or lean. Run the machine for a while.... then pull and check your plugs again. Hope this helps[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Thanks I'll take a look and let you know what I find out.

 

Listen here is what the bike does when I'm riding and I come to a stop it just shuts off and won't start on it's own unless I hold the throttle down a bit and start it. I then have to keep on the gas to keep it running once I let go it just dies so what do you guys think I should check or change?
