I've got my bike running well, but during the warmer weather, it is starting to feel a little flat till the RPMs build if I dog it at low speed. I have no place to do a plug chop, so I'm forced to work around that method.
The bike is a 03 200. FMF woods, silencer, DF2, air box lid, 42 pilot, 155 main, 1173K mid clip, AS 1.5.
Months ago when I put the 42 pilot in it helped tons. So I'm confident with that jet.
Things of note: ***The "soft" bottom, is noticed when I'm at walking speed in 2nd, and quickly open the throttle to full open. ***If I slowly roll on the throttle, it feels a bit rough coming off the pilot (1/4-1/3 open at throttle). A bit of duh-dadah-daduh roughness. ***The silencer always has thin black spooge splattered around the outlet, and usually on the rear fender and my back. (Could be the FMF silencer turned up more?) The bike always starts very easy, and never seems "too" smoky. ***I live in Knoxville, not sure the alt., somewhere around 1000ft. & more heading into the mountains.
Should I (A) start by dropping the needle a clip, or (B) putting a 152 main in.
The rough, off pilot transition makes me think the needle is rich, and the spooge makes me think the main is rich. But as always, I'm cautious not to get too lean. I have searched till I'm crosseyed, and I know this board is full of this same question 10,000 times over, but I value your thoughts on this specific situation. As always, thanks for your help. Greg.
