[QUOTE="JohnWayne007, post: 202924, member: 3792"] Thanks for the quick reply! I did look at the piston and rings i just dident bother measuring and making sure they were still in spec as that wasnt the concern at the time. The piston and rings looked fairly new. Im assuming were replaced with OEM at one point in its life, cylinder head looked good aswell surprisngly for its age I know my plug is on the rich side like ive stated this is my first 2 stroke, all my other bikes have been 4 strokes so how the 2 stroke runs and how its suppose to run is a bit different than what i am used too is all. My main concern really is the smoke, ive heard 2 strokes are suppose to but than clean up once warm, mine smokes and even when warm still smokes. I have also replaced the packing witch made a big difference but still noticable. Again im used to 4 strokes that hardly ever smoked and if they did usually it indicated somthing wrong and was corrected. [/QUOTE]
