Your running way too lean. Go a few jet sizes up and adjust the air/fuel mixture.

well thats whats weird its all oem ..oem size jets..oem exhuast....only thing not oem is the uni filter and tires lol......and the plug is ALLWAYS golden tan! is that normal or what?

[GoodKarma]

Opening up the intake with the Uni filter is going to make a change, and you need to add more fuel.

[team-red-rider]

isnt the uni same as a stock replacement?

[200x newby]

no... it "supposedly" the number "1" performance airfilter.

haha ok thx .....wow looks just like an old oem one i got

Yes, water will boil straight off the exhaust, the gasses going through there are super hot. Its burning fuel, its gonna get hot.

[team-red-rider]

yo sloth ...within like 20 seconds?

[slothminx]

The water steaming off within 20 seconds? Yup thats ok to me. I know my buds klt its less then 20 secs, the Z its pretty quick too. As you said the plug is fine, so dont worry. Things will get hot.
