Bent the needle jet

[crazetoride]

i ended up dropping the needle and it bent a little i just carefully used needle nose to fix it and it seems to be pretty straight, runs great, just wanted to know if it was a good idea to run or not, and i did a plug chop and the left side, side with the dropped but fixed needle runs a little fatter, am i alright or should i by new needles

thanks

i did the same thing once, it was with vito's needles, and those are made with some pretty soft stuff so i could get it back to where i couldnt even tell...soo there still in my carbs

okay i was just makin sure it is not the reason why one side is richer then the other, i use a shit load of old t-shirts to protect it from hitting the pavement from now on, but would you be able to explain why my left side runs a tad richer like i did a proper plug chop to 6th etc, and you can still notice that one side is a little darker then the other, both have same jets, 250s and the carbs are supper clean

thanks

here what do you think? this test was done when it was only 10 degrees celsius outside, i will be riding in 25 degrees celsius, i think it looks pretty good

mods

t-5
filter kit
250s middle clip

okay thanks, could you maybe explain why my one plug is richer though? i did a proper 1-6 WO test and cut the threads, this test was done in weather of 10 degrees C not F i will be riding in temps of 25 degrees C so 15 more degrees which is quite a bit

mods t-5 and foam filter, 250 main needle on middle, (thinkin about dropping it a clip for a little richer mid)

the plugs as you see are as on bike left plug you see is left plug on bike (from sitting position)

i think they look good for the temp of the test
