Default Did I hurt it?

More problems.....or at least I think it may be a problem. Got the 25 LE tuned today and it's so much faster than I expected. Wheelies on demand in first, and it will flip on takeoff. Hitting third very nicely too. I'm running the 15T clutch bell with the 47T spur. Tuned after the fifth tank and now it's on the seventh.

The first problem is that the idle seemed a little "lopey" and rough after tuning. The second is that after about 4 WOT runs up and down my street I checked the temp and it was 308 degrees!!!! Is this a really bad thing or what?

Default RE: Did I hurt it?

Give us some input on the way you tuned. Did you do the lsn also. I would richen the Hsn about a 1/16 to an 1/8 of a turn. that should get your temp back to a safe range. if you did not get flame out or pop the glow plug I think you are ok. Just DON'T run it that hot long.
