Im assuming i know the answer already (carb) but I would like to get opinions on which upgrades are most important to performance and which to upgrade first and in what order. Once I have the new carb what jet size do I put in with everything else stock except maybe airbox, 110? <---- for example..

I want to keep this as inexpensive as possible. Makuni carb, 110 jet, airbox mod, baffle out of stock exhaust.. Sound reasonable??

I do not want to change the sprocket sizes but if its a must to cruise at around 55 let me know. I would like to get the quickest cheapest way to cruising at around 55. Right now when going uphill i try to give more throttle and it starts bogging.. Thanks guys.!
You can sort of fix it by going to a larger main jet, and shimming the needle higher. That's the cheapest way. The better way (in my opinion) is to buy a Mikuni, because jets are easier to find, and you really need to change the pilot jet as well. And one more thing. If you buy a Mikuni carb, only buy genuine Mikuni jets. The knockoffs are not made accurately enough....ARH
