Always does it but yes goes away when you rev it. Atleast I think it does. it might just be going to fast to hear it. Bigger pilot needed?

I thought so. Like I said both my YZ250 and CR125 made a similar noise.

White shes running lean. I already knew this I just wasn't sure if it was a lean noise or a normal one.

Thanks guys.

Huh... I wouldn't want a new bike with out a warranty. What if it had a proven factory defect, could you get it replaced or be SOL?

They have, or atleast mine did, a selective warranty which basically means an ultra limited warranty. Obviously pistons/rings, oils, air filters etc etc etc aren't covered on a motocross bike but crankcase failure, crank failure within some small amount of time, and most other limited wear parts are covered according to my warranty booklet.
