You can plug the holes in your muffler with self threading bolts or weld them over.When you are adjusting & lubricating your chain,keep a close look for a seized link,which may contribute to the jerking your experiencing.I think once the SeaFoam has a chance to work,you will find it much easier to maintain 55.

Use the "search" function, & ye shall find. :2tup: Luckily, my bike's European. That means that the carb's set up richer than the American bikes (which are regulated by America's nanny emission laws) In fact, it looks like they're stopping the sale of new bikes with carbs, from this year. It seems like they're only allowing the sale of new bikes with fuel injection. The setup on my European bike means that I rarely have to use the choke, and it has slightly more power. The American members seem to report that carb mods are a good thing. Like I said, if you search, you'll find plenty about the carb mods.

Well sea foam in the tank lube the chain and adjusted it no chugs must have been the chain but was almost killed by a young girl on her cell phone as she drifted in my lane now this is a back road about 20 miles from help so I was doing 55 she was going the other way so 110 impact I thank god and all the years of dirt bike riding no one can tell you the felling unless you feel it yourself an I hope you don't ever have that fear I hope the young girl leans from it and will stay off the phone wile driving

Good to knows you got it fixed.I knew about the chain because my bike done it when I first bought it.I found a seized link after taking carb apart thinking it was the problem.
