Plug chop methods

Ok guys here is how I normally do a "Plug chop", First I put my bike up on a block (actually I put it on a firehawk drag slick lol) then I run it through the gears till I reach WOT and then I kill it while holding the clutch in. Is this method acceptable or do I actually have to ride it?

Yea, you need a load on it. Warm the engine up with the old plugs. Change the plugs, and run it all the way through the top of 6th gear. Pull the clutch, and kill the engine, then coast to a stop.

 

Use this chart to adjust the jetting.

Very nice. There are plenty of informational posts in the jetting stickies above.

As said....you have to load the engine for a proper reading. That's why a lot of guys dyno tune their stuff.

They don't have a back 40 to go rip around on to check...so the dyno puts a load on it to simulate riding it down the road...
