my Dog is envious.. I won't let her ride 2 wheelers.

sadly I had to sell the Miata,



Awesome dog picture! I've only known a couple dogs that don't love hanging in the breeze, and I think it was more about not liking the car moving.

70 mile ride the other night!  I'm gonna nurse this clutch until the weather gets bad.  People keep stopping me to ask about the bike, so at least I have that. 

Ran really nice, except the crankcase breather hose split midway through the ride and got oil... everywhere. 

So, one more question.  The plugs look good, maybe a touch lean, but I get occasional dieseling on the left side after I cut the bike off.  This would lead me to believe it's a rich condition... confused.

Carbon build up can cause it, along with the throttle plates not being closed at idle. (mis adjusted idle needle)
