    My bike always has a nice medium brown color regardless of spooge.

    Do you have a line of oil running down the bottom of your silencer after a few minutes of riding? I think at this point his pipe is just full and silencer saturated but who knows. He rides under 1/2 throttle a lot.

    I get this slight spooge with a newish silencer - and to me it seems to depend on oil type - my plug is a nice tan colour and thats after a good thrash

    Mine was the same,and the main reason for me getting the lectron. I think I spent more time changing brass in the mikuni than actually riding:lol:!

    Bingo. Oil type is everything. I used redline and silkolene some and WOW the spooge was uncontrollable. the Spectro SX is pretty clean. I use Amsoil and it is medium spooge. All that said IMHO spooge means nothing. Read your plug, wipe the spooge off after every ride and ride on. The spooge means you engine was treated to a nice slick lube.

    This is beyond that, like soak the packing dripping wet spooge.

    I've always found the spooge discussion interesting and usually goes something like:
    If there is no spooge, everything is just right, carb jetting, squish, compression etc etc.
    If there is a bunch of spooge, it means nothing. :excuseme:

    My bike is runnng the best ever in three years and is spooging . I agree - like to see some spooge . I am running Yamalube Racing semi synthetic because its cheap - like me. Its about $17 per litre compared to $35 for Motul or Motorex
    Never seen Amsoil here. I run it at 35 to 1.
    And thats running pretty hard on the pipe mostly

    So far mine has been either all the way on WFO and clutch slipping or fully closed while braking. No spooge since I discovered the fully closed air screw (LOL). I can't see riding it in the woods any differently, it just has no guts without it being on the pipe. You guys ride these in the bottom a lot? I guess that explains the many 167 kits?

    I understand and I ALWAYS expect it in slow woods.

    yeah the 167 is all bottom. I am fortunate that I live in a mountainous region and I benefit by being in tall gears on steep inclines and can downshift, lean back and get the traction needed for the climb.

    Ha! My 125 will barely pull itself up my paved and slightly inclined driveway at low RPMs! I really have to decide where I'm headed with this bike. I don't have the faith in hitting every gear perfectly to really ride my local MX track the way I can on my 4t. 3rd gear and throttle vs. shift 4 gears and hit everything wide open and skittering up the ramps. I know the 167 doesn't have the pull up top to be any different, just I'd be shifting at half the RPMs. If it had that basement torque +the top end stretch it would be ideal at this weight. I guess that's what the 200 and 250s are for.

    My suggestion is a 144 kit with slightly raised compression and race gas. Will be stinking fast, pull better off the bottom and still rev like a 125.

    I'm leaning towards this being my dedicated scrambles bike, and enduros if I can find a titled frame. The MX tracks here have changed too much to challenge the 250/450f bikes. At my age I'm not going to be able to get there mentally to launch a 125 60' right out of a turn, LOL! Bring the 125cc class back at the National SX/MX!!!

    Our 09 had the Gorr 144 kit, still ran like a fast 125.
