Everything runs smoothly, engine is broken in now, been riding the hell out of it. I just have a question concerning a gasket. The thin metal gasket between the top of the cylinder and the slant head, how important is that? Cuz I just started cleaning off the oil and dirt my engine fins and everything else collected over the past week, and I realized that the gasket broke, melted in one place, and frayed in 3. Ive seen and heard of people throwing it out fresh from the factory, but, if it's really not that important, why include it in the kit? Also, when I let the throttle open and reach what im assuming is max speed, the bike seems to lose a tiny bit of power and rpms, and quickly get it back, making like a " push - pull " type feeling. Should I be worried about it or why does it do that? And to those telling me having no brakes was a stupid idea, I still agree with y'all, but in 1 day alone ive had to make 27, yes, 27 oh sh*t stops between my house and the gas station, because people driving down 441 in boca dont know how to drive, signal, etc, and I havent had so much as a fish tail or a close call using the engine provided brakes, which work best with the clutch pulled in, tried and tested before taking the bike on the road
