Hey guys i have a quick question, i have a 95 warrior with a after market full stainless steel fmf titanium 4 exhaust, but my question is if it is usual for an aftermarket exhaust to heat up cherry red coming out of the head? also if anyone could tell me how to bleed the front brakes on one with aftermarket +2 brake lines that would be great. thanks
 
your jettingis way off. tht happened to mine until i rejetted it. its lean i think im not sure. but its def your jetting
 
Jetting is lean. If it is red just sitting at idle your pilot jet size needs to be increased. To bleed the front brakes, have someong pump the lever 5 or so times to build pressure, then HOLD the lever tight! With them holding the lever tight, crack the bleeders, then close them after a couple seconds. Then have your assistant pump up and hold the lever again. Repeat the process untill all air is out of the lines. Alternate sides each time you bleed them. And DO NOT let go of the lever while the bleeder is open! You'll suck air into the system.
 
nicely said gen1 =] my **** took for ever to bleed. but once all the fluid reached down and all through my lines it took a second. def fix your jetting.
 
No prob. You should work on cars, like me. You have different bleeding sequences, some you have to use a computer, some have to be vacuum bleed...
 
Ok I took the carb apart and I have a 148 jet in the main, and a 45 in the pilot jet, I live in michigan, have a stock motor, stock carb and a full fmf titanium 4 pipe, any idea what the jetting should be?

From the info I have been reading on here I would go ahead and try a 150-155 main and keep the pilot at 45. I'm probably not right just thought I would try and help! Hahaha
 
Your main does sound smallish, but I would clean the carb super good, please use compressed air along with gum cutter. Reinstall and see what happens. If the pipe is glowing at idle then your idle circuit (pilot jet and mixture screw) is too lean. The main jet is for wide open throttle. Be sure to set your mixture screw to spec and take it from there. The easiest way to choose the correct main is to put a large jet in, like 155, and in neutral, get it up to full throttle. You don't have to hold it there long. Just long enough to see if it surges or not. If it does then back the main down one at a time until the surging goes away, and it revs out smoothly. If it doesn't surge, then you need to go bigger until it does, then drop it down one size. If it is super rich at wot, it will puff black smoke when it surges. Also, check all intake related components for cracks/splits. Unmetered air will casue a lean condition.
