Acted like it was cutting out at higher RPMs.

Although not perfect for a new bike, my solution was changing the carb to the Mikuni jetting it for sea level.

Power seems to be up, starts and idles on first try with very short starter spin time, idles on full choke when very cold . Much different bike. Best mod I've made so far.

On a side note first gear is extremely short with stock gearing maybe 10 mph tops.
If you guys could share your jetting and engine size, that might help other riders.
