taldoc3 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 my shee is doing the same thing, but just out of one side, its brand new, is this normal, to rich or what but just coming out of one side the left what do you guys think Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 When you say it is shooting black oil... do you actually mean oil? or is it black smoke? If the pipes/silencers are stock, I remember that my bike would get an oily buildup just inside of the silencer tip. You could also be running to rich of a ratio on your oil mix. What type of oil and at what ratio do you mix? Quote

I took my silencers off and the shit drained out of them. It was like a thinned oil gas mixture. I dont know if its too rich jetting or what. Mine was coming out of both silencers.

Toomey Banshee Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 try 40-1 and check your plugs Quote
LegendSS28 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 sounds like your jetted too rich...your mix ratio has nothing to do with soot, unless your running a rediculous mixture like 10:1...jetting is most likely your problem, also the more you wind her out the less soot cuz it will burn more fuel..

2003LimitedBanshee Posted September 4, 2005 Report Posted September 4, 2005 So... Is the bike stock, or have you done pipes, etc. etc.?? If it is stock are you at higher elevation? If so maybe you are rich on the jetting which could lead to the problem you are talking about? Let us know a little more about your bike and your location, and we can probably help you figure it out.
