Just like the guy in the awesome change post i installed my first round of goodies for the Shee. Paul Turner mid ranges, Pyramid reed valves and the pro flo setup. i have an 04 zx6r and ive had many bikes in the past. ive never seen a machine respond to pipes aswell as this did. i mean it almost seems that yamaha intentionaly restricted the machine with its pipes so im getting what the shee was meant to feel like in the first place and then some.

ok, so i pulled out a 17 page jetting faq and trouble shooting guide i got from here like 4 years ago. i played around tried leaning it out alittle with the airscrews. then checked the plugs after giving a real good run down the street. got that famous golden brown in the center that we all look forever. however the top of the plug was still charked black and black wet builg up around the outside of the plugs. im on the right track but still a little stumped. shredder

yes sir, the plug is more brownish, almost a light brown when im at wot. im not quite sure what to do abot the jetting. im putting pyramid reed valves and paul turners on this within the next 2 weeks(when ever they arrive) and it will have to be jetted then anyways. maybe il wait til then and kill 2 birds with one stone. also yeah i do lug it at some points the trails. il work on keeping the throttle more open and possibly gearing the machine down to do so. shredder

yeah, Its a brand new bike they are the right plugs for sure. the air filter is spotless not even any dust on it. i also noticed today that the tips pf the silencers have the same dark stains on them aswell, its what ever is on my plugs and on top of motor around the plug holes. i had one friend of mine tell me im not running the bike hard enough for that oil to its not all burning away correctly i had another tell me i can run it alittle higher ratio then 40:1 cause im doing tight woods riding and not opening it up enough. any more input would be great though. im gonna try a basic 2 cycle oil from belray or somone next after that im stumped. shredder

sup guys, Right off the bat my dealer tells me to run a synthetic blend. so i ran the best he said they had to offer. Honda HP2 sythnetic blend at 40:1.after a bit a riding time i noticed all the little problems u guys have such as bogging. one cylinder stronger, making more exhaust and pressure then the other. and taking forever to kick over. every time i checked my plugs they were gunked over in black. so i replaced and had a brand new bike all over again. had the bike out maybe 3 hours of actual running time been through 3 sets of plugs. is it normal? was the synth blend a wrong choice off the bat? the engine runs very strong expected of stock machine anyways. just burns though plugs reeeeeal fast. any suggestions would be great thanks.

Honesty, its the reason ive been a member of this website since it was just getting on its feet . i talked to the tech at DRI today and he told me the same as u guys. even offered to guide me through steps on the phone as i was doing the jetting installation. just to get me started after that i guess its exchange and repeat till it works. im gonna grow some balls and do this myself Thank You And roost on friends

Hey guys, just bought a brand new Shee... I have opted to go with paul turner mids and pyramid reed valves along with the pro flo intake setup. i see all these people with jetting problems on here, so im nervous and want my dealership to install my upgrades for me. right now my engine starts up 3rd kick max and runs perfect. Can i trust my dealership to install the jetting for the new pipe and reed setup properly. or should i avoid them and go through the tirelss hours of rejetting myself.... id really hate to have a brand new machine and not be able to ride it cause of jetting problems. Thanks ps I mean i would figure this would be an easy upgrade but ive heard from you guys that dealer service teams can be real bonheads and ruin good things in a hurry
