Right, but at least you aren't trying to rejet with a variable air jet in the exhaust stream that leans the mixture on the exhaust reversion.

You sound like a rocket scientist

I say, Rejet it, replace the springs for the pipe, and the gasket. I race mine and dont have any problems with it. ( I also run the BR10EG )

My CR80 has the same problem, its because the o-ring is torn and I haven't gotten around to getting permatex for it. I haven't rejetted either, but it runs like a crazy mo anyways. Should I change the springs when I put on permatex?

[schwen_108]

It wont hurt it any to change the springs...It depends on how long you've had it. If you've had it a long time than I would sudgest you should

Many Thanks to All - looks like I'll be headed to the Honda store for some spings,an O-ring, some jets and A tube of that Hi-temp copper silicone.
Any ideas on the jet sizes, I asume it's got the stock jetting now. If someone has rejetted their bike for this problem, could you let me know what size is stock and what you used , would save me some time / research.
THANKS AGAIN !!

It's really hard to go by what others have gone by. This is due to weather/temperature, style of riding, the bike itself, and many other things. It's best to follow the full routine of jetting if you aren't trying to troubleshoot just one small problem. If you need help with the full routine, which you probably will, just ask.

Crazy is right. Temp,Elevation, riding style play huge roles in jetting. I struggled with jetting on my 500 for a long time. Pull the main and the pilot and let us know what you have in there. Whats that plug look like? That plug color will tell you everything she is doing. That's the tell all right there. Also where the clip is on the needel and the Ele and temp and between all of us we should be able to help you out.
