Only 130/60 or 130/70 fit according to Woody's. I'd be willing to bet your's is a /80 or /90 which is not recommended.

Sounds like your jetting is too rich. makes for good starting - esp. cold - but gets too much fuel when riding / bogging at larger throttle openings and makes for black spark plugs.

21" rims in 1.6 - 2.15 sizes don't have enough of a bead groove for a TL tire to sit in. That's why Woody can't do a tubeless setup for you.
