[QUOTE="Camstyn, post: 352562, member: 16494"] One thing you might try, if I haven't already mentioned, is remove the rear brake pedal spring. You get ten times more feel on the rear brake that way. It is way too stiff of a spring and I noticed a huge improvement. Also, safety wire the rubber cap on the clutch line bleeder valve, if hasn't already come off. It's not secured very well. Also safety wire the cable arm on at the bottom end of the decompression cable. Mine popped out of the arm, safety wire fixed that. I was at higher elevations today and the bike was definitely running rich, I'm going to try dropping the needle one or two clip positions. How did you find it for starting? Mine was tough when it was brand new, but has since gotten to be superb. Since you're a YZF owner I'm sure you are already familiar with the drill. You can almost always skip the hot start button, as an added bonus. Check where the kickstart arm meets the footpeg, on mine it was coming down onto a tooth and gouging it a bit. I was going to flatten out that tooth, or file it off, but I noticed that after it got to a certain point, it stopped gouging any deeper, so I just left it. You will hopefully find that this motor gets better and better every time you ride it, mine did. Mine took about seven or eight rides before it reached it's potential. The YZF oil filters fit.
