Just adjusted the idling screw, didn't have to do anything else with jetting yet. The improvement is day and night already, but please let me know if you have any insights or experience.

apollo 36

GIO BIKES is selling this model in Canada now... I think $2600 cdn .. plus taxes same carb so the mukini upgrade is needed... just sold one and now the guy is happy with the new carb.... the front fork is suppose to be raked and better then the 31 and 35 model... rides nicer.... any one have some thoughts on ride improvement.... fork oil , etc...??? I tell every one to use the tire pressurize caps for the tires... to let you know your air pressure of your tires... you can get them at most stores... like PRINCESSAUTO in Canada.. and I would guess harbor freight... saves tearing the tube valve stem off

i never had it happen but I've read from people who had those tire caps come apart and result in rapid deflation on the highway. just a heads up if you use those.

caps

Lot of people with stories... I think it is better to have them on... and not wreck a tube because of careless ... I do not know how it would do that..... but you never know what some people can do....

That cap has to press on the Schrader valve in order to provide a visual reading. If the sealing portion of the cap failed while it is pressing on the valve, the tube would leak.


I'll use a tire gauge instead.

Mag00, those are really smart. Not only do they have sealing washers inside, they have the core tool to tighten the Schrader.

Would you mind telling me where you got it and how much you got it for?

I assume you are in NY. I'm in CT so shipping would probably be comparable.

How has the bike been doing since you bought it? You have about a year on it now haven't you?
