pimp250r, make sure you read all the material he sent you, and don't forget to rejet up a few steps before trying them.

Which type of reeds are you running? When I called, he said there were two types. Can't remember the name of the standard ones, but the others were X3 and only last 10 hours.

PIMP- Yes start with the 160. you always want to start rich and go down, and keep checking the plug.

pimp250r, start around the 170 or 180 mains at least. Check your plug color as you go.
