Cheese Not necessarily. The best reading for the plug is cut it during a full noise or at least a hot fast session. It may be black and sooty by the time you've shagged about getting back to the car.
To get a good reading say at Woodhill. Give it shit on the trail, give it shit on the road on the way back to the car, don't change down etc etc just pull the clutch, kill it with the switch. So you get a good hot reading "on power" before your idle circuts have had a chance to come into play. If your bike is going well you are also startng to talk quite fine changes and that also depends on where you want the power.

And remember the Golden rule " always try richer before leaner". you can't stuff it by going rich, you can by going to lean.

Lion this needs to be done as per the above. Sending a pic of a brand new plug with only a thrash up the road to its credit probably won't tell us anything.

Hey cheese, do you know if a stock rm silencer is compatible with my fmf pipe? I heard a rm like mine the other day, it had a stock silencer and was a whole lot quiter. Do you still have the stock silencer?

Na I don't have the stock pipe.

You just need to pack it properly.

Did you fix the bits you drilled out?

**Lion** · 24th May 2007, 07:50

Yea I just put some new rivets in there and repacked it. The smoking seems to have settled down now.

dont bother. there is no way through replacing any part of the altezza exaust system that you can make the horrible noise go away.

same with skylines, they make the horrible noise no matter what
