like I said, just get the jetti ngback to stock, make sure the secs ar eright for your elevation, I don't know where you live. The silencer will have nothing to do with your jetting. I have a pro circut platinum pipe and pro circut 304 on mine and the jetting is fine at stock. Elko is probably right on the top end and it should be done.

Jetting on your own at first is a little tedious and can take some time but once you have done it, it gets easier and easier.

How are you lost? Its the same as any other dirt bike? You said you used to own a 250f, so I don't understand how you can be lost.

I think you fouled the plug.

Are you just putting around?

Yes its water cooled. There is a definite problem. I don't know what it could be. Theres always something new with this bike. I would sell it and get a different bike.

he stated the plug was a tan color now and I know that if the head gaskets are not on or bad that he can get water or antifreeze in the cylinder which could be the reason for it to be ding.....just a thought.

The spark plug sounds normal. You want it to be a tannish color on the electrode.
