I posted briefly a while back about this issue and thought it was just the conditions in which I was riding, but I have since learned that it wasn't.
Here's the problem.
Took the FireLizard out for a nice leasurely ride the other day. Temp was low 70s nice breeze, in short, perfect riding weather.
My buddy and I were cruising back from the shooting range when my bike started cutting out again. It would run nice and strong and suddenly feel as if it missed a gear and wen't into neutral, however it did not. It felt as if the engine had died, but rolling back the throttle to almost WOT would rev the engine back up, I would then downshift and run in a lower gear. After a few feet it would do it again.
Finally I was able to cruise along with no problem at about 40 to 45 mph. We got back into town and my buddy noticed intermittent black smoke coming from my pipe.
Am I running rich and at highway speeds it is flooding out or what? This only happens when I am at highway speeds, between 55 and 75, haven't gotten over 75. In town speeds 0 to 45 I am perfectly fine.
Just to let you know, I am running 152.5 Main, 55 Pilot, Jardine slip-on muffler, and K&N slip-in air filter. My air/fuel mix is about 2 turns more or less.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Forgot to mention I also shaved the white spacer to half.
