how so? everything i've done so far, i've tested for a short time before going with it. except for the gas tank. that was all or nothing.
anyway, i'm apprehensive about messing with the mechanical aspects for the same reasons you consider me dangerous. i don't know. that's why i ask questions. then i determine what i should or want to do. that's why i haven't done nothing yet. i know that there is a balance between fuel, air, combustion, and exhaust. until i can figure out how to change them without destroying the scooter i won't.
by the way i don't consider your comments insulting. in fact i consider them complimentary. the way i see it is that someone has to be the point man with this bike. someone has to experiment with style, performance, ect. so i say to hell with waiting for the aftermarket. i'll do it my damned self.
take care everyone. i gotta check the oil.
