[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 646996, member: 20316"] My 01 EXC 200 drools black crap too. I have asked around and it seems to be more a problem with oil type and mixture than jetting, which makes sense. My bike is still a little rich but not bad, but my swingarm/brake caliper is black with goo. Some things to consider: [list] [*]What mixture are you running? I run 50:1 in my 200, and though I would ask, I think a 250 would be ok at 50:1 also. [*]What type of oil do you run? I've been told that the high-end full synthetics are not really designed for use in 'normal people's' bikes, since they do not get hot enough to fully burn the oil. I'm not too sure on this one or not. Some oils, like Castrol, actually have temps on the bottle, like 600 or 800. Someone can call me on this one if I'm wrong, I'm just repeating what I'm told. [*]Where/how do you ride? Most of the problem I have with mine is the fact that I DON'T rev the piss out of it--I lug it and ride like a pansy (I'm getting better). Not saying you ride like a pansy, but if you don't scream it, the oil is going to build up. [/list] Let us know what you figure out! [/QUOTE]
