I have 2-stroke experience(been awhile) and last 2 strke was my street bike(twin cyl. 350/Yamaha I still have) so I am familiar with jetting and clip position in regards to throttle position. Not to mention, the new 500 comes with a great "get you in ballpark" tuning guide. But has the KIPS system I am not at all familiar with. Well, my problem is, at near sea level, I am fouling plugs almost right away. Good blue smoke at idle. Actually kinda on heavy side. I have air screw set 1/4 tun out past factory recommended 1.5 turns. Still stock jet and clip location. The tuning guide from Kawa states at my alt. and temps., I should be ideal where I'm at. Stock jet and clip setting. I'm on 3rd plug and put 100oct gas using recommended 32-1 mix but once I crack the throttle, plug gets wet. Sooty and "all" black but looking like it is just pig rich beyond 3/8 throttle. My question is should I mess with stock jet and just up the clip position? Or, is it more common with this bike to have to play with actual jet sizes? I appreciate any feedback from the know how to tuners. Especially someone familiar with the KIPS KX500.
Thanks
