Looks like it is running fine. What needs to be changed?

the jetting is pretty fat at the bottom end, and i think the right side main jet could be a tad smaller, it doesn't run equally at all, the egt shows about 175 degrees difference between the cylinders....For those that don't know, a egt measures the temperature of the exhaust right next to the cylinder, 1400 degrees melts pistons, safe harbor is to stay at or below 1200 in my book....and the clutching needs just a little bit of tuning....got to get it on some hard surface and do some wot runs, and some runs at specific rpms threw the range, ideally a cvt will get its rpms to a certain number and sty there all the way to full speed...then it is shifting right... Very Happy I would also like to share a few photos from a brand new race track in Michigan, it is not done yet and will likely need some fine tuning once it is riding, we assume from layout it is going to be very high speed...and has some pretty good size jumps in it....next Saturday or the Saturday after we should be riding, this is not just a track to race, but a track for any and all to play on, 15.00 buys you 10 am to 6 pm at night, no orv stickers no state bull privatley owned and operated, should be lots of fun....Photos compliments of odypilots

belt shredding.... Very Happy I dont have a torque rod between the rubber mounted motor and the solid transmission, as the motor torques it pulls towards the trans on one side causing misalignment, I believe that is what shredded the belt, also my rear suspension was kinda not setup right, long story, I have a sore back from the chassis hitting the ground, I think i have fixed that problem, now i need to build a torque rod.... Very Happy
