Title: Analyse this...
Post by Henrik on 05/30/14 at 03:14:38

Iam getting soot at the brakelever. Whiped it of and this is how it looks after about 300 miles. Is it normal? The bike runs really good now so I rather do not want to mess with the jetting (again). But maybe it indicate a to rich condition. On the other hand the soot has a good dark/grey color i think. There is no visable smoke when ridning. Opinions?

Looks to me that it's more of an issue of pipe outlet placement rather then a running condition.

Happens to the best of us.....could be normal.

Modern unleaded fuels with 10% ethanol do make the exhaust pipe black, even if jetted correctly.   This is not any indication of how the bike runs.

Nah, just soot since the muffler outlet is right there.
