[QUOTE="CR Swade, post: 1225781, member: 21423"] Many times a "bog" right off idle is actually a lean pilot, but again I don't know where the bog is occurring. Does running the bike w/ the choke eliminate the boggy feel when blipping the throttle? If so, you have an overly lean condition. Make sure to start w/ a properly adjusted air screw (3/4 to 1 1/2 turns out) and then make your determination whether you need to go richer or leaner. The fact that you aren't fouling plugs like crazy after warm up leads me to believe you may be lean on pilot...most KTM 2strokes are nowdays An overly rich main and or needle/clip setting can cause the spooging and smoke after that. Does it seem to bog and then take off in a smoky mess? I've always had good luck w/ JD needles and his recommendations for main jets. But you may be able to cure your spooge and smoke by going w/ a leaner clip position at a time. If that helps but doesn't cure completely, try one step at a time smaller on the main. I don't know what part of the rpm range you are getting what symptoms, but pilot and air screw affects idle up to roughly 1/8-1/4 throttle, needle and clip overlap at 1/4 throttle and up to about 3/4 throttle, and main affects your 1/2 to WOT. Basically, address one problem at a time and adjust accordingly before moving on to another, otherwise you will end up with a mess. FWIW, I have always spent the initial first few hours learning my machine and jetting accordingly and I have always had clean running, non-spooging two-strokes. Just make sure not to go overly lean in trying to clean everything up. Once you get the bike in its happy spot, they are real easy to live with [/QUOTE]
