Running Too Lean

hello,

How do you know if your bike is running too lean? I've heard that you could end up with holes in your pistons...Will a dino test tell me?

Colder

 

The 07 are running on the edge. You dont want to change nothing on them without getting fuel remap.

 

Welcome! What Model and year bike are we talking about?
Modifications?
Your gonna know you've got a problem way before you burn a hole in a piston. When you accelerate is it smooth or ruff with popping and backfiring? Spark plugs will be the easiest to read at home, they should be a light tan color, Black is rich, white is lean.
And yes a Good Dyno Tuner can use a Dyno to tell if your motor is lean.

 

Pssst guys, did you look at the date on the origional post (over a year ago):hii
I'm sure by now he probably burnt a hole in the piston.

 

PC is absolutley correct. Look at your plugs, they will tell the story: white is lean, juicy black is rich and heroin light brown is correct.

 

I just checked colder's profile ....that was his one and only post.

Oopsies
