If I could get the fuel/oil business stabilized, and get someone to adjust the exhaust valves for me, I would have nothing to complain about....

....well, maybe that softer spring for the rear shock would help....

LOL! No kidding! Maybe someone can put on a 'travelling exhaust valve adjustment" clinic! I'd pay! We ham-fisted mutants aren't as nimble as we once were.

That's been the one thing between my brothers blue bike and mine. His blips to a start each and every time. Mines always cranked a few, has had odd idles on occasion and also stalled once every blue moon. I'm hoping this vent will cure some of that by opening up proper breathing. It sure helped stabilize the idle.
