    I'm getting massive amounts of dirty gas shot into my airbox. Any clue what's up?

    One or more floats are probably overflowing. Your crankcase vent also vents into the airbox, probably why it's dirty, Or you have Gas/Oil and it has your crankcase overflowing...

    If you recently purchased your bike. I humbly suggest biting the bullet and tearing the carbs apart and rebiulding them. It isn't as hard as it sounds and you never know what state they were left in after a "rebuild" from a previous owner.

    I just ordered over $200 in carb parts from Chacal to remedy the previous owner's ham-fisted "rebuild". I would NEVER have been able to get it properly tuned in that state. Honestly, I don't understand how anyone can manage to dog up EVERY faster and jet in a set of carbs.
