A completely unscientific observation here:
Last week I put my 2007 T100 on the lift table to change fork oil (yecch! I waited too long again!) and install a new front tire. Finished with those chores, I started the engine and warmed it up, thinking I'd change engine oil while I was at it. The bike's mufflers were about a foot and a half from the (white painted) wall. Once finished with the oil change I saw that the pattern of soot splattered on the wall from the pipes was uneven.
The right side left a noticeably darker blob than the left. Also the left pipe is a bit more blue than the right, near the engine.
This is a second bike and doesn't get ridden as often as it should, but starts easily most of the time and gets around 44 MPG on a regular basis. About 12000 on the odometer.
Whatcha think? Float level? Synch? Idle mixture out of whack on one or both carbs? Jets and other items are all stock; I've never fiddled with the carbs. Would appreciate any suggestions.
