Re: SO how do you claim "my bike is PERFECTLY tuned"???

When I tore my bike down to put in a new trans the other night I found what looked to be a perfectly tuned bike to me.No carbon anywhere on the piston,head or valves.The dark spots on the piston are from oil off my hands not carbon.Everything light brown and jetting is dead on from bottom to top,if you think it's b.s. ask the guys with 178+r motors that I holeshot and won 2 motos over with my little 115 at the round 7 2up race .They couldn't believe how good it ran.If you want to know how it's down it's called patience and trial &error.

the engine builder I use to take the jetski to would put in a heat sensor on the header pipe of the exhaust. He would measure the temp. to tune it..

Yes, but for that 1 straight-away, it will be perfectly tuned.

I'm looking for 125% volumetric efficiency.

If your bike starts 2-3 kicks don't caugh off idle, screams on top and is responsive through the middle.....little rich handles any extra load better than a little lean or perfect.......
