How to tell if I'm too lean?
I've recently installed Boyesen power reeds in my 92 kdx 250 and researched a lot about jetting. The bike es running line a champ with 155 and 38 jets with my needle clip on the second notch from the top and the air screw 1 1/2 turns out. Everything seems to be perfect and working better than ever, which gives me great pause for concern. How can I tell if I'm too lean? The throttle is crisp and clean, there is no bog or hesitation , no audible ping, so how can I tell if its too lean before I kill the top end ?

Re: How to tell if I'm too lean?
sounds like its running fine to me
what other mods are you running?
what altitude are you at?
i think the best thing for you to do is a plug chop to ease your mind

Look at the insulator of the plug. White is lean, brown is correct, black is rich, black and oily is common.
A typical plug chop can help you to determine just the main.
Also, look up "lean bog".

Re: How to tell if I'm too lean?
Thanks going to grab some plugs today to do the plug chop. It's pretty much stock other than the reeds. I'm just a worrier
