Thanks for all the info and i thought it was normal but it seemed to build up on the inside of the exhaust really fast after the install of the PC III. We did adjust it so it would not get as much fuel. Didn't think of it before but you could smell gas a little bit so we will see if anything changes after making the adjustments.

Always use 91. Well come to find out my PC III needed to be tuned a little better. After I did a little fine tunning every things seems to be doing better.

just keep an eye on temp and your spark plugs if you start leaning the bike up. If the plugs are white and the bike is running hot, fatten it up some.
