A reminder: FMF silencer packing
Well the last time I repacked the silencer before doing some jetting I only repacked the main portion of my TCII silencer and did not take out the spark arrestor. This time I took the whole thing apart and found about an ounce of thick black goo in trapped between the end cap and the spark arrestor. I was wondering why I was spooing so much despite the bike running great.
Reminders reinforced:
Don't jet by spoo, spoo could be trapped in the silencer giving you a false sense of jetting.
Always dissassemble the entire silencer if your bike has been running rich.

I thought the torque pipe was 11" in circumference and the desert was 14"?
From canyncarvr snipped from DRN:
"For the odd time (it has happened) that the MODEL numbers on the pipe are stamped incorrectly, keep this in mind: The KG30 (rev) is considerably larger in diameter at its largest point than the KG35 (torque) is. It's been awhile since I measured the two of mine, but as I recall, the CIRCUMFERENCE of the KG30 (rev) is 14", the KG35 (torque) is 11"."
