Hi , new to this forum here.

I have a 87 big bear i just rebuilt the engine with a 10.25:1 wiseco piston, 2" PVC snorkel, and have 28×9" Titan 589 tires.

Just got it running, runs good has alot of power. just wondering what most people see for exhaust temps right out from the head, I have a laser thermometer and i see 900 degrees F right where it comes out of the head, about 750 degrees around the bend and about 350-450 degrees where it connects to the muffler pipe.

Seems pretty hot to me, kinda gets my legs hot when riding.

I have a air/fuel ratio gauge on it and it shows im idling a little lean, and my full throttle is a little rich, I plan on changing my pilot jet up a couple sizes and bringing my main jet down a few sizes.

just wondering what other big bears are like
