Black soot in the exhaust pipe...

[Juggler]

Smart People,

If I am running rich, how do I change this? I have basic tools and VERY basic knowledge. Will I need to take this to the dealer, or is there something I can do (with above limitations)?

Thanks in advance.

depends on the gas u are running. pump gas is not predictable for the color/texture.

if you were running a certain race gas, then it MAY indicate leaning one way or another in the mixture................

nope....don't think you are running rich. The black soot is just from the fumes in your exhaust. Remember something about emissions? That's what the cans are supposed to do: keep all of that shid outta the air.

If you think your runnin rich, just look at your exhaust. If it's blowing alot of white, yer probably burning oil. If it's comin' out very black, you could be running a little bit on the rich side.

Just my limited knowledge and .02

white smoke = burning water/coolant
blue smoke = burning oil
black smoke = too much fuel


dude, you are talkin about a Hayabusa, right??!!!!!
its FUEL INJECTED! the cpu adjusts for the fuel mixture. nothing to worry about unless you are trying to win races!

I stand corrected by the Cache-Master.

like they said but if it bothers you you could pull a plug and look at it thats the way to tell rich or lean without an 02 sensor or fuel mixture meter on a dyno

He HE... And the Pipes have nothing to do with emissions... They are there to control noise only...

You feeling OK Pac-man? You look a little flushed...

if you want the air to be clean
put a k&n filter at the outlet of the exhaust!

heck slap a TRE on it that fixes everything

Hey Pac-man,

I don't think that it's just getting too close and sniffing the exhaust. I actually think that you indulge in wrapping your lips around the exhaust exit for about 5 to 10 seconds every now and then...
