So bumped pilots up to 47.5 and mains up to 147.5 and surprisingly dropped my temps by 20°. Didn't mess with the slides. So I'm thinking recheck the valve clearances and go up to 150 if I need to. Another question. Since I have no mufflers just baffles, should I try and make a lollipop for each...

Also I was wondering could I have set my exhaust valve clearences to tight intern trapping exhaust gas in the heads causing excess heat or is that something that would be very noticeable?

I'll mess around with it tonight and report back

Haven't messed with the timing at all. How would I tell if it is too advanced?

That's what I'm thinking. Let me bounce a idea off of you. What if I sanded all the paint off of the fin faces on the jugs. Would that help dissapate heat intern helping cool the engine? Also bike started backfiring at higher rpms indicating the main jets.

So I checked my plugs after a hour ride with head temps by plugs at 340:wtf: got home pulled plugs and they were very white showing very very lean. Tonight I will be bumping up from a 145 main to a 147.5 and see what happens. Should I add another needle shim aswell to be safe or just change main...

Yessssss let's ride brother!!!!

Haven't checked plan on doing a plug chop tomorrow and see what happens. You mentioned the lack of mufflers contributing to heat. If I packed my tips with stealwool around the baffles would that possiably help? I was thinking of doing this anyways to cut down on the noise. Is it the back...

So synced carbs oiled filters set valves and the bike is running like a raped ape ! Smooth throttle no hesitations or dead spots on wot just great. I have become obsessed with engine temps trying to figure out what is too hot . It's about 70 deg here in Ohio and after a 30 min run ( mostly...

For sure getting oil after work. I'm learning very quickly that cheap parts DONT SAVE MONEY!!

Manometer just arrived today Wil sync them tomorrow morning and report back also I noticed that the cheap ass pods I bought were blocking 75% of my air ports in the face of my carb. What conditions produce/ how would that effect the bikes performance. Finally forked over the cash for some uni...
