Default 2011 250 with a drinking problem...

Hello

Just rode my 1st enduro yesterday.
DNF mainly due to lack of fitness lol
Severe arm pump stopped me halfway up a steep 500m long climb and took 45mins to get to the top of it again! and stopping to help someone whose chain sucked up between front sprocket and swing arm.

Anyway it was a 35mile lap, I hit reserve around 32miles.
Route was mixture of service roads, rocky trails and slow technical forest section with a few road sections in between.

Bike pulls well and idles perfect. Starts easily from cold with no choke, usually need throttle pulled to get some air in when hot starting (normal for 2t?).
Quite spoogy out the exhaust.

Not a fast rider so mainly a gear higher and working the clutch rather than singing on the pipe apart from the more open bits.

Could pilot be a bit too rich??
Or am I better going whole hog and see what the squish is like and fix that?

cheers
