I race 2 stroke GP bikes, 125's and 250's. Take the bike out for a run, let it warm up to operating temp. Open the taps on it get it going flat out then kill the engine while you're wide open throttle. Pull the clutch in and coast to a stop. Pull the plug out and inspect. If it's black, you're rich. If it's white you're lean. Ideally on a 2t you want a honey color which should indicate you're on the money. For those that don't know this technique it's called a 'plug chop'. Lean is mean...Rich is a bitch.
