Yep, I do believe I see it too.

Nice looking little bike by the way. For a 2009 it looks well cared for.

I did a little more reading on that particular Yamaha out of curiosity. It may well be a total clone of the original bike. The rear fake exhaust is just a decoration and the real rear pipe goes...

That engine is a genuine V-twin, so that rear exhaust pipe should be getting as hot as the front. If it is fake, take the shields/covers off and see if that rear pipe T's into the front. That said,...

Technically speaking, the Hunter is a Roadster style motorcycle the same as the Classic 350, Bullet 350 Interceptor 650 and my Shotgun (yes, the Shotgun is also a Roadster). Mid to mid-rear peg and...

You didn't add too much, technically. The crankcase ventilation system just lacks any sort of valve or other form of separator to help block the oil that finds its way to the vent tube. Then, the...

Yep, there is a reason these bikes are so cheap. You are the quality control guy, the PDI technician, and the mechanic.

The Scrams seat height is almost the exact same as my Shotgun. Just narrower. The tallest seat in the RE lineup is the Interceptor I believe.

All of the RE air cooled engines make noises. My 650...

That's because it's not really the A/F screw. It's the idle mixture screw, which is why it mainly affects idle. Using it to correct anything other than idle fueling is the wrong use of that screw.

$5k for an INT650 is a great deal too. If they had that deal at my local dealer while I was getting my Shotgun, I probably would have bought an Interceptor.

The Hunter 350 is a little on the small side for me, but not uncomfortable at all for 6'4'' tall me. I would definitely get one of those over a Grom or Navi, for sure.

If you don't have a nibbi on this bike, yes you can simply order one and jet it...

The Hunter and Meteor 350 are nice, but be prepared for modded Hawk 250 top speeds. They only make a hair over 20hp.

I would cut the ignition the second it loads up and starts to slow down. Come to a stop with the engine off, pull the plug, and read it. It may not be perfect, but it should give you a decent...
