any more disrespectful thanYou're right, it's just which someone that's not clear.
"Someone" doesn't know what they are talking about.
Anyone who posts incorrect information will likely get called on it. That goes for you, me, Rich (especially Rich)...anyone. It's not a personal thing, it's a matter of trying to maintain accuracy on the technical matter discussed.Sir, I was trying to help a beginner out. I've been ridding an working on dirt bikes for over 30 years. I think deserve better treatment.
You posted incorrect information in a public forum. If I had privately sent you a message, others might have been similarly misinformed.I think I covered the issues due to lack of lube and over reving the motor. In the future, you might try a P.M.

Just because he had incorrect info, that does not make him an a-hole and I do not think he should be treated like one.

Yep, my understanding is that either condition (being too lean anywhere, but especially on the main if you run there, or prolonged high rpm coasting with no throttle opening) can cause problems.Originally posted by bud
I was told that a bike could sieze this way only if it's jetted too lean, and/or engine braking with closed throttle and high revs for long periods, ie very long, steep downhill with no braking. Is this right?
You could have the carb jetted perfectly, or even too rich, and you could cause problems with high rpm coasting without allowing any gas and oil to get to the engine.If that's right, which carb circuit would need to be too lean?
Not to me, but I'm not a mechanic...I'm an idiot with a keyboard and several bikes in various stages of disrepair in the garage. If you fully let off the throttle and coast, the carb is pulling fuel from the idle circuit and is only (significantly) affected by the pilot jet, the air screw, and the slide cutaway. The main jet won't really come into play until you reach more open throttle settings.he had a bike sieze when its rider let off the throttle on a flat stretch of blacktop. He said that was caused by a lean main jet. Sound right?
