seems to have good power. I saw your site. looks great. printed off the "problems of jetting" the other night for my neighbor(he has a friend who is buying a brand new yamaha and feels that it needs jetted) My dad was a mechanic all his life and I kind of agree with him. You can do alot with stock!

right/wrong~~ plug color is how you know.
The LT is jetted fat from the factory. If the needle adjustment worked (running fine) then that's great.
FYI: You can go DOWN a jet size (90) w/o problem. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
