i am just going to check float height and try a 38 pilot jet as my next step ( my old 2012 racing i used to run 178 main 35 pilot and a EE needle ..but still was never good around 1/4 throttle )
at the moment I'm running Motul 800.. 90cc to 5 litres (55:1) 175 Main 40 pilot and the EF needle middle clip sea level about 12 to 14 degrees c. Isle of Man UK
any help would greatly appreciated ...apart from this jetting issue the bike is fantastic and definitely confidence building compared to the 12 :O)

Congratulations on your new bike!
Banging noise (burning fuel in the exhaust), fouling plugs, starts easily without choke... I think you've already worked out what's wrong.
Running rich, so check float height then try one/all of the suggested needles or maybe a JD Jetting Kit?
Good luck, Dave.
