Well my bike cuts out real bad on the top end, it has to be the main. You guys think? I need to lean it out a little more, cause Im pretty shure that Im too fat. It only does it 4th gear and up....:rolleyes:

wouldnt your bike bog at full throttle if its to fat.

By saying cutting out, it sounds like you are not getting enough fuel.

when my quad was way too rich...anything past 1/2 throttle and it would shut off.

what main jet are you running?

exhaust?
engine mods?
airbox lid?

Niks 330 with 350 crank, LRD bb pipe, keihen 39mm pwk, K&n, no airbox lid. Its at about 500 feet, and im running a 182 main, i called LRD and they told me to run a 172 main, so i went down to a 178, and it seemed a little lean, and didnt smoke, so i went back up to the 182 and it didnt cut out(bog), but now its getting worse. Its doing it pretty bad, im pretty shure Im to fat but I wanna be shure.

A high gear bog would seem to not want to increase revs like it should, when U get back in the gas (rich main)

A high gear cut out is like a sharp die or pop, & the bike still runs fine till U hit that limit where the gas cant keep up w the revs.
(lean main)

Thats my 4 stroke experience, but should act the same on a R.

do u have a port job? just wondering because ive heard of like people running ports made for better top end and running bottom end pipes thinking there gunna get a great mixture of power, but really justs runs like *** because the ports and the exhaust are fighting each other. Thought id throw that in..
