it seems to be missing at high rpms and when i let off the throttle it backfires a little, seems to run strong tho as the "missing" is minimal , i think it missing. i've got less than 100 miles on it, removed exhaust tip, opened up the air box, cut the grey wire.? i think it might be jetted a little rich, but i am going to go to the yz timing, so i didn't want to mess with the jetting yet.:think

It all depends on what needle your going to after timing change. If your going to DVP then you can bump up your main and pilot. If your going to EKP then your main is fine and bump up your pilot.

Throttle stop?

SFC,
The culprit may be a missing throttle stop screw. Many dealers take the easy way out when delivering the WR new. Did they ask you if you wanted the throttle stop removed? If they did, and did NOT shorten it and REPLACE it, you very well may be confusing the TPS at WFO throttle. This will cause the bike to spit, and sputter @ high revs. I had the same issue resolved by cutting the stop down to a total of 23mm. The bike does not spit anymore WFO. There is an article on TT, here it is:
Throttle restrictor
Most dealers simply remove the stop. The ones that know what they're doing, shorten and replace it. The bike simply revs to the moon with it reinstalled at 23mm. If after all this, your still missing, I would re-jet. I have heard you dont have to re-jet when going to YZ timing. The jury is still out on that one.

Rev limiter

Kramer,
The missing from hitting the rev-limiter is not as "obvious" as having the slide open too far and confusing the TPS. Even though both suck, I found the miss to be a bit more severe, and annoying from the stop not being installed. Just my .02, anyway.
