hello,

How do you know if your bike is running too lean? I've heard that you could end up with holes in your pistons...Will a dino test tell me?

The 07 are running on the edge. You dont want to change nothing on them without getting fuel remap.:D

Welcome! What Model and year bike are we talking about?
Modifications?
Your gonna know you've got a problem way before you burn a hole in a piston. When you accelerate is it smooth or ruff with popping and backfiring? Spark plugs will be the easiest to read at home, they should be a light tan color, Black is rich, white is lean.
And yes a Good Dyno Tuner can use a Dyno to tell if your motor is lean.
 
Pssst guys, did you look at the date on the origional post:D (over a year ago):hii
I'm sure by now he probably burnt a hole in the piston.

PC is absolutley correct. Look at your plugs, they will tell the story: white is lean, juicy black is rich and heroin light brown is correct.
 
Well...he probably decided he wouldn't enter his 2nd post until he got an answer to his first! :D
