[QUOTE="Hondaxrguy, post: 146717, member: 23305"] I bought my bike almost 2 months ago. The mods are WB 416 kit, K&N, snorkel out, and FMF exhaust. The bike was jetted with a 65 pilot, and 165 main. The bike felt too rich off the bottom, so I ordered a new pilot, and a new needle (A16A) because I bent the old one. When I put the new needle and pilot (62) in the bike, it felt MUCH better. It's now very easy to loft the front wheel over logs. My problem is, when trying to set the airscrew by turning it to get the highest RPM's, i end up closing the airscrew. So do I need to go back to the 65 pilot? I'm also having a hard time getting the bike to idle at a consistent speed. It wants to idle high, but then if I just blip the throttle, the idle drops down. Could that be because it's too lean? The plug at last check looked much better than it used to . The tip is I guess you could say kinda gray/brown? Before the jetting change, it was totally black. Oh, I ride usually close to sea level to 1000 feet. Jeremy [/QUOTE]
