Thanks for the info. Would you happen to have a pic of the Grom cluster you're using? I'd be interested to see what it looks like on the bike.

I see. Well, I'll be darned. I thought even a small mismatch in bores would have been a problem.

Learn something new every day, I guess!

Does the big bore head work with the stock cylinder, or do you also have a new stock head?

I bought a couple of rounds of the Maxima kit (cleaner, MPPL, chain wax), and went through the cleaner and MPPL much faster than the wax. When the cleaner and MPPL were gone, I switched to Simple...

FWIW: Fortnine tested chain lube recently; gear oil was not a dirt magnet. In fact it attracted less grit than chain wax (Maxima) and was close to Motul in avoidance of grit attraction.

You are correct, but that's the way they come from the factory-- EPA/CARB lean.

I have found my Apollo DB36 to be moderately easy to start, but it's very cold-blooded-- it needs to warm up fully before it will run right.

I generally start it with full choke (i.e., lever all...
