	i picked up a 04 rm 125 w/ a full doma racing exhaust, saturday and took it for ride today. once in a while its wicked poppy untill the rpms are crankin then it smooths out. its worse in 2nd gear and even when the rpms are crankin it still does it. but this is only once in a while. the plug is wet and black, so i might jet it down a bit. but what do you guys think? never heard of this before haha Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	You need to bring it to a shop to have it tru'ed so the wheel is straight. U can put them all in just have the shop tighten them so its tru'ed.

	alright now i need some help with jetting. where i bought the bike was at 1800 ft. elevation,and i live at 300 ft. elevation. When i first got the bike here and rode it, it was running rich, the plug was wet and black. But now after a while its starting to run lean, the plug is a grey color. so should i bump up the pilot, and main? and should i change the clip on the needle to richer? thanks guys.
