Hey everyone maybe someone here can help me after adding my SBP exhaust i have losts of white smoke coming out that i didnt used to have.

is this do to buildup in the engine that might just be burning away?

how is it running to rich when i thought the exhaust supposed to make it run a little lean?

seems like the bike idles faster then usual after the pipe was on also.

should i pull the carb and change the needle position up one?

or let it run for a couple miles and see if it clears up?


Thanks Everyone, Garrett
 
White smoke?
If everything else looks OK, run it for a while and see if it stops smoking. Might just be oil or paint or something burning off the pipe.

Regarding the air/fuel mixture, if it's idling higher than before, it might be running leaner than previously. Check the plug colour.

after posting this i decided to take it for a ride while moving everything around i tightened the throttle cable to tight and it was having it open a quarter of the way all the time so i fixed that runs like a champ now really huge amout of power gain.


here is a pic please dont give me a violation if i dont post this pic right still learning.

i love the way i ran the pipe almost follow the curve of the bike. solid as heck.

- thanks for the help

Looks good. It does fit your bike well.

Glad the smoke problem went away.
With the throttle cable - leave about 2-3mm slack in the cable to allow for moving the handlebars left to right, or the idle might increase when doing a tight turn - more than a little disconcerting at times.

(The powers-that-be are pretty decent and wouldn't give you an infraction for not posting a pic correctly. At worst, you'd get advice on how to do it right. As things stand, you've done well - a well-chosen title and you added a thumbnail rather than an inline pic.)

i got a infraction for posting my first pic on my first post in the introduction section for using the wrong img tag or something if i get one more i get banned for like 10 days or something. but its cool as long as i am doing it right now then its cool.
