zilladude Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Sounds like it is too lean. Sparks could be carbon or piston material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Sounds lean to me also, what size jets are your running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yep, the weather got cold and you didn't jet up. Is it a banshee? The stock yfz are know for that. They come a little lean. Header pipe will turn bright red.....not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banchetta Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Just look at the plugs. If you see sparkly silver specs, then thats detonation. Don't ride it. If not, then you should be fine. Buy a compression tester and check your compression, that'll give you peace and mind and let you know where you stand. You should have one anyways. They only cost $20-50...Go back to B8ES. The 9's are just cooler.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
