I slapped my new phantom 85 onto my old bike
First time starting was just now at 32 degrees outside, lots of engine sputtering on the startup, sounded real nice and I probably got up to 20mph, I didn't push it and held the throttle for no more than 5 seconds at a time as per break in instructions.
It ran best on half choke, but it absolutely refused to idle. I haven't tweaked the idle much but from previous engine experience and by looking at removed air filter during installation, it's already open plenty.
Will the bike run better as-is in warmer weather and broken in or is there some tweaking i need to do? Is there anything I should know going forward? I'm planning on moving my phantom to my brand new hyper with 3 spoke mag wheels (DAMIEN's design copied) as soon as some other parts come in)
