Running rich and sputters when cold

[phxrider]

Well, just got back from the dunes.

 

Day 1 - The bike was running great with good response all the way through. But after running a good while, I would really have to shift down a lot or it would bog when slowing down, but no hesitation anymore in the middle :biggrin: . Is this normal? It was kind of warm out. The plugs looked better, but still a tad rich.

 

Day 2 - I dropped the main down from a 320 to a 310. I noticed sputtering in the middle? and not good response. I didin't ride much cause I just didin't like the way it felt. Kept the needle on the fourth clip (6 notch needle).

 

Day 3 - I went back to the 320 cause it felt better then the 310, but now it ran like crap with a lot of sputteriing wide open? I don't understand if it ran good with this setup the first day? it was a little cooler on day 3 and my filters where dirty by now.

 

What's your thougts? ::

Well, looks like I'm keeping the carb settings that are on my signature. We went out to the dunes on Saturday and the weather couldn't have been any better, maybe 70 degrees. My Shee was screamin all day long. I pulled my plugs, and they where a beautiful chocolate brown. I took it easy on the filter oil for the out part of my Uni. I noticed that the sand didn't stick to it this way. :beer:
