No mods. I'm a stock kind of guy when it comes to motorcycles. Johnathan180iq is likes to talk mods. He's been kinda quiet lately. He just added to his family and I imagine that's keeping him busy!
I rebuilt my carb with a bigger Main jet (#132),shimmed the needle,and adjusted the idle mixture.The biggest change I seen was much easier starting cold,as the bike was running richer,which I would contribute to the idle mixture adjustment.Before I done the adjustments,the bike was hard to start when the temperature dropped below freezing.After modifying the carb the bike started much easier hot or cold,idled smoother,with no fluctuation and was more responsive.
