    I race 2 stroke GP bikes, 125&apos;s and 250&apos;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&apos;re wide open throttle. Pull the clutch in and coast to a stop. Pull the plug out and inspect. If it&apos;s black, you&apos;re rich. If it&apos;s white you&apos;re lean. Ideally on a 2t you want a honey color which should indicate you&apos;re on the money. &nbsp;For those that don&apos;t know this technique it&apos;s called a &apos;plug chop&apos;. Lean is mean...Rich is a bitch.
