[QUOTE="RM80kid, post: 90530, member: 21182"] Brian, did you check the plug properly? If you let the bike idle for more than just a few seconds you will not get a true reading. Get into 3rd or 4th gear and ride it full open for about 20 seconds. At the SAME TIME chop the throtle, pull in the clutch, and hit the kill switch. Now stop the bike with the throtle still closed and the clutch pulled in. Now check the plug. If the insulator is white you are lean. If black you are rich. Tan is just about right. This will check the main jet. You do not have to change plugs every time you do this. It will change color as you ride it under different conditions. Do the same plug "chop"at half throtle to check the needle position. Then let the bike idle for about 3 minute and check the plug again. This will check the mixture setting. I've done this several times on my KLX300 and it works very well. I have had my main jet be bone white and after idling for 3 minutes had the plug turn pure black, then back to white again after a high speed run. Give it a try.:) [/QUOTE]
