[QUOTE="ws6transam, post: 1326850, member: 65064"] Hi Shane, You can email me anytime you want: dburk %at% ws6transam %dot% org will work. Anyway, you all convinced me. I took my tank and rubbed it down with 600 grit, then 1000 grit sandpaper, wiped the whole thing down with enamel reducer in order to make sure it's wax and oil free, then painted it with white Krylon Fusion paint. The tank has been open and drying for six weeks and will not see fuel for probably another four weeks. I have ordered the Blue Lightning tank sealer and will coat the inside thoroughly before doing anything else. It's looking really nice I think, much better than the yellow. The graphics are in the mail from yzgraphics.com and I will install them once everything has had a chance to cure. In late January I will be taking the bike to a dyno shop and doing some power testing, and tuning with a wide-ratio O2 sensor in order to get the jetting dialed in. I'll be running 50:1 Amsoil Interceptor synthetic so it looks like I'll need to lean it out a bit. Any suggestions as to where to go in terms of jetting? The engine is fresh and stock, save for the +.040 piston, Procircut pipe, and FMF muffler [img]http://ws6transam.org/Gallery/albums/WR500-Motorcycle/WR500_jan3a.sized.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
