always happy to help where i can, i hate seeing the average non-mechanic getting "touched" for no good reason! The soot on your finger wont tell you a lot, the soot is more about slow running and the type of fuel being burned unfortunately. Air Fuel ratio on these bikes is a lot leaner than ideal and anything modified will lean it further, its probably not too much of an issue around town or even the twisties but would likely be a problem when really working it, say, at a track day or higher speed runs etc.

Took the plug out and got my mechanic to have a look , he reckons the plugs are perfect and she's running okay
Most of my riding is in the twisties and I rarely get over 4 grand in the hills. Cheers boys
Ezza.

Scotty once you get used to the look of the cut down you can never go back,I ran mine without the steele wool for a while because I couldn't get it back in . However I pulled the muffler apart again wrapped the steele wool around the baffle then wrapped that up with masking tape, this allowed me to slid the whole lot down into the insulation and reassemble the muffler,then the tape burned away. I got to say she sounds sweet.

Well boys after saying that I've just got a new yoshi, (got sick of looking at the scratches on the cut down,)I got the stainless one and I just can't bring myself to cut her down, YET. Sure makes the Rex quiet though,I picked it up from BGW an online store run by Mick Malladin, $499 free post had it in 3 days.

I guess having two I can chop and change and if the cops hassle me I could put the quiet one on.
