Default 2007 yfz450 running lean

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
ok. I have a 2007 yfz450. It has a full big bun exhaust, 170 main and a 45 pilot, with air box mod and lid removed. I just completed the exhaust cam mod (wicked gain) and bike seems to be running great with the exception of a time to time backfire when bike almost comes to an idle. Before I went on a ride I put a brand new spark plug in. When I got home I check the plug and it was very dry and light in color. What should I do? Bigger Pilot? bigger main?????????????? Pipe did not seem to be hotter than normal.
thanks for the help.

Thanks
