my bike ran so horrible in the 1st un timed practice I stopped after a few laps when I realized I would not even make it over the triples, came back to pits my dad took my plug out sopping black.

I have been riding here and there on a indoor track but it is like 30 in there or colder, and a very basic lame track, it was like 80 in the stadium.

So my dad tried doing what he could with what I had, leaned the needle out, and air screw, I had a smaller main jet so we put that in, of course I just had to go out there and try it so I was already nervous about it, get out there, and it ran just as bad almost, was better off idle, but almost fell even flatter after that, so I stopped.

I wanted to do all the jumps, I know I can do all the jumps, but with me on my bike and the way it was running I am 95% sure I would not have made either triple without coming up short, hence why I stopped and just called it quits before I hurt myself, I do have a serious job, and a family now and cant risk getting hurt cause my bike wasnt running right but felt I needed to do it anyway.

So yes I was even more unpreppared then I thought, Yes I can understand where a 450 actually would have helped me a ton in this situation.

Problem is I just didnt have access or anywhere to try and get it running right beforehand, these Rm's are picky as shit about there jetting.

So say whay you want everyone, thanks for the people that rooted me on, and I am sorry I could not back it up, if I am able to get my bike running perfect and can do some more stuff to it before St. Louis I will try it again there like I planned, I am really frustrated and disapointed with myself and my bike right now so badly I cant get to sleep, because I know I could have done so much better, but its over with now!

Thanks
