RM125 2003 suzuki rm125, jetting questions

http://www.iwt.com.au/mikunicarb.htm

Here is a good one

Plug chop is , bike fully warm...get on an open stretch and run the bike as hard has to can, bang through all the gears. Once you reach top end, Leave the throttle held wide open, hit the kill switch and pull in the clutch at the same time. Leave the throttle held wide open,until the bike comes to a stop. Do not stop the bike, let it coast to a stop. Then pull the plug.... You might need a flash light to look down inside the plug to check for color... Should be a mocha dark brownish color...

Darker the plug the richer its running.. The whiter the leaner...

You don't want white.
 
holy freaking shit a dirt bike question :lol: haven't seen one of these in for ever

Welcome to the site :wave: I am with dan, don't fix it if it ain't broke. Put the pipe on first then worry if it needs jetting.
 
OK here is my $.02.
- You are replacing the pipe because it is rusting.
- The bike is running perfect as is now.
- You are still learning and do not want to mess with the smooth running bike.
- Afraid that the bike will not run as good when changing the pipe.

So based on the above, wire brush the rust spots, buy a can of high temp black paint (since the stock pipe is black) and remove and paint the pipe. Cheap and easy, plus if you are still in the learning stages, you will be taking a few dirt naps here and there. Do you want to risk denting a nice new shinny pipe?

If the bike is running perfect and you are only changing the pipe because of some rusting, Paint It....

I could not agree more than what is said here. If it aint broke, don't fix it as they say, except for the rust and some paint. :thumb:
 
I agree as well, but unfortunately the rust is getting pretty badd to the point where after the winter is over it might even rust all the way through in some points, this is why i am asking these questions here,
Did anyone try these settings that were posted above ??
 
When doing a plug chop what colour am i looking for ? Like stated above it shhould be light brown, like coffe with cream ?
What colour would it be if its too rich?
What colour would it be if its too lean??
How would i know its the right colour?
