Hey all! First let me say thanks to all for their posts I love this site and forum.... I recently bought my foreman 500 and love it! (My experience = Ride red or get pulled home by red!) My bike has stupid getup! But, when im ridin if i let off and coast and downshift then go to romp on it it will overload. Im thinking it's runnin rich?? Maybe one of the jets needs adjusted?? If so how do i do that??

welcome to the forum !
pull the spark plug and take a look at what color it is (dark light?)
its kinda hard to figure out what is wrong with all the mods you have but we will figure it out ..ok

welcome to the forum. one thing that may be doing it also is your getting too much air flow with the snorkel. pull your plug and go from there

Plug was black! Do i need a hotter one??

to me its getting too much fuel
try dropping down 1 size main jet and see how the plug looks after

it sounds like it's a little bit rich. do you have a "performance" air filter. mine has almost the same mods as yours, and i know for a fact that mine is running lean. but, you gonna have to get more air, or less fuel.
