Hey guys, haven’t posted in a while because I haven’t ridden in awhile. I was having an issue with my clutch cable, and never got back into the garage. I just got my bike up and running again, and have some probably rather simple questions.
Firstly, I don’t have too many miles on my bike, and was wondering, what is actually considered the break-in period? Is it in terms of miles, or tanks of gas? Is it terrible that I’ve had it wide open for any amount of time? I wouldn’t say I’ve driven it like I stole it, but did get it to some high RPMS.
Secondly, is it common to for the bike to vibrate pretty hard at high RPMs? I don’t mean like I’m about to fall off, but if I start letting my hands loosen up, I can tell that the bike is vibrating pretty hard. If it’s not normal, what should I check?
Thirdly, I’m willing to do some upgrades to my bike. I’m not necessarily looking for performance specific upgrades, but any upgrades that are highly recommended. I have a BR6HS Spark Plug in the mail currently, should arrive Thursday. Can you tell what kind of carburetor I have in the photos? I’ve been researching the Bofeng carburetor and I’ve seen some mixed messaging regarding the upgrade. I already have a higher airflow intake, would I have any noticeable performance out of the Bofeng?
I currently have the chain tensioner that came with the kit, and I do have some play in the chain. Not a ton, but was wondering if that was a recommendation as well? I like the idea of the ones that have a spring such as this. Again, I’ve seen some mixed messaging within this forum, and didn’t know if there was a preferred tensioner that the masses would recommend.
I don’t currently have the Killswitch connected, as one of the metal tips came off, and honestly, just wasn’t patient enough to troubleshoot it. Is this terrible? Currently I just come to a stop, and let off the clutch and the engine kills itself. I see that some people have recommended a higher quality CDI, should I do this, and kill two birds with one stone?
Also, I like the looks of the CNC heads, and the fact hat it would match my bike makes me like it even better. Would I see any performance gains with this? Performance loss? I’m not sold on it, but if I would see some substantial performance benefits, I could potentially talk myself into it.
Lastly, looking at the pics of my bike, are there any obvious flaws/mistakes that you see in my build? I’m relatively ignorant and want to ensure I’m not setting myself up for failure. I know I cramped up the air filter a little bit when installing it, I didn't realize that there wasn't anything stopping me from over-tightening it. I have a spare in the event that you think I royally screwed it up.
Thanks again everyone, you all have been tremendously patient and helpful with me in the past
