Kato, Thanks for the info i'll keep it in the back pocket.

Iron, I'm going to take a pic first thing tomorrow. I think it's running good when its all warmed up. Strong pull (but I dont have anything to compare to so maybe it could be stronger). I dont smell anything funny after riding etc..

We'll see after I pull the plug and snap a pic. I'll post it up to see what you guys think.

There are a few tests you can do for free.

When its warmed up and running ok, does taking off the air filter help acceleration or make it worse.

Turn off the bike and put the filter back on. Next try bliping the throttle when the choke is on. Does that make acceleration better or worse.

The first makes the bike lean, the second makes the bike rich. It should be easy to find out what your bike likes. :D

Ok! I've got some pics. these may be very large but I wanted to give you guys as much detail as possible. Please let me know what you think. Also, Ironfist - thanks for the free tests. Im going to give them a try tomorrow. I got kicked out of some private land I was respectivly riding on. I didnt know I had gone that far. Anyhow, without further a due. Your thoughts please:

looks fine to me.
I always try to picture the color of a jersey milk or hershey l chocolate bar.
If it looks like chocolate then fuel mix is good.

However try a throttle chop after riding around for a minute or 2 for a good color check.

I'm not an expert, and I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...but there might be a trick you can try.

I've read of people using a small washer under the needle clip to raise it up a tad more on other bikes. Others with more experience might chime in here and give a thumbs up or down on if it's worth a try. I just thought I'd mention it...

Best of luck! :)

I'm no expert either, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

That's a good plug color, (in my book) but in the first pic you can see a black depost. I'd clean that up with a bit of fine sand paper, re gap and stick it back in. For the price of a single plug you could replace with fresh. I expected to see a whiter tip by what you were explaining, but lets see what the tests show.
