I fouled one plug on my '18 in the 85 hours I've ridden it, an that was when I was still getting the jetting right and it was running to rich. Now it's perfect, no spooge and plug looks just right, running 93 pump and amsoil dominator at 44:1.

Ive just been grabbing whatever the local shop has. Last pickup was the Motul 800. Hadnt googled it until you suggested that my oil could be part of the problem. Looks like a lot of people have had spooge n smoke problems with it. I have tried other oils but now, come to think of it the plugs are gunking up much quicker with this stuff. I might jump online and see if I can get some amsoil n Ill give it a try. Might solve part of the problem I was having with the smartcarb as well.. Think Ill still check the squish as well. Fingers crossed..
thanks everyone for the info. |

Before head work compression was 155psi and afterwards 150 psi

That’s awfully low. Should be around 200. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes no yes. The number alone means sweet FA. Some 'quality' gauges use adapter fittings.. they can add a couple of cc's to the trapped volume which will in turn give a lower reading than the engine actually is. Even more so if the volume of the tubing is counted.
Comp readings mean verrry little unless a specific gauge is used to make comparisons. My cheapo gauge always reads low, but my engines run strong and happy. I just work off percentages of compression loss along with piston blow by, coating wear, etc visible when peaking in the exhaust port... to help determine when a top end is due. Typically around 70hrs for me. |

I wouldn't be surprised if I lost 5 psi or so with my gauge as its a rubber cone push on type you have to jam on when doing the reading (ie not screw fitting).
Before I had the head done I tried reducing base gasket thickness to 0.15mm (0.5mm stock) & this raised the compression to about 160 psi & reduced squish to 1.35mm. This made it a bit harder to kick, improved jetting & spooge, but power delivery was not what you call smooth with a big kick coming into the mid range. Fun but not fast (for me).
