Damn, sounded you guys had fun. I ended up at the Meremere drags. I havn't been to the 4 & Rotary nationals for about 8 years now. It appears they've finally sorted out parking and traffic controls and as a result it was pretty sweet.
Sweltering heat though. I wish I had brought some sort of tent with me. Not as much fun as riding though. =)
V monster truck was pretty wicked, as was the Rayglass Supra (?) doing a 6.95sec pass

I need to give a huge thanks to whoever was riding the new husaberg 450 who stopped and helped when my bike fouled a plug, he was the one who marked out the trail so got dad back to the carpark quickly and got me rescued a big

I always carry a couple of spare plugs and the tools required to change a plug just in case this happens.
Havn't fouled a plug for at least 8-10 rides now.

It was very hot yesterday and some of the track was very tight, so you could easily foul a plug if your jetting was a bit rich in the first place.
told ya so
since iv owned the bike, bought it in may, i had never fouled a single plug and the one that did foul was the plug that was in it when i got it
but guess what i learnt on sunday
is it true that plugs only last about 8 rides? one of the guys who stopped to help me said that they only last about that long and that i should get the jetting done
I will probably just run less oil in the mixture, its 2.5% atm, or run a hotter plug, i never have the bike tapped for long, or change the jetting but triple x moto recommend a larger main then whats in it now
fuk i dunno

I've fiddled with my jetting. Leaned up the mid range. Its made a world of difference.
Dunno about replacing plugs every 8 rides though. I've never done that, but I'm no racer thats for sure :P

I wouldn't reccomend that !!since iv owned the bike, bought it in may, i had never fouled a single plug and the one that did foul was the plug that was in it when i got it

A new plug every 15 to twenty hours is a good practise, Either get a workshop rejet your bike or if you want to give it a shot drop the needle one slot and that should allow more air in and make the mixture leaner(check your plug after every setting change to ensure you havent gone too lean). Reducing the oil content is not a very good idea nor is running a hotter plug(unless its within the reccomended range).
Crazy dave had the same problem and a simple rejet has made a world of difference. He is probably the one who stopped and gave you a hand(he was on a kx250).
The trails were tight and puttering along on a two stroke will usually cause your plugs to foul. Vazza has similar issues which we are trying to solve as we dont want it happening at the GNCC next month.
Please dont take my word for gospel as tuning carbs is a skill very few of us possess and a lot of it is by trial.
hope this helps!!

Crikey I just put a new plug in when I put a new piston in.
Forum whore
shit you guys seem to go thru a lot of plugs!
ive replaced one plug since ive owned my bike, and that was about 70 hours ago- never fouled one either
Highway Biker
on the other hand it sounds like a good idea, he beat me by 45 seconds at the GNCC.
told ya so
[QUOTE=xxblackbirdxx;1907856]I wouldn't reccomend that !!

wouldn't recommend what?
the guy on the kx250 said he got his bike rejetted and it doesn't foul plugs anymore, but the guy who he recommended couldn't be much further away if he tried, kumeu is a long way away from my place
yea the new plug thing i will have a look at, and maybe the jetting thing, my bike has a lot of oily splooge coming out the muffler and I think the 1/2 to full throttle is wrong because it didn't splooge up at the ride at riverhead , cuz it was so tight i couldn't open her up for long, but at thunder it does cuz im really fast around there and on the throttle lots so again I think the jetting is out, but then mr cheese said that thats just two stroke nature to do that when I met him at riverhead
we may just go where no ones been
