Hi Steve, I love the Black NE-5 If I had one I would search for the Black Panther chain guard
Introducing yourself on your own thread would of been better.
Not sure if you've done any performance mods and probably not.
I got some performance advice for ya
Since you just found out about the intake restriction plate.
Don't remove it, enlarge the hole to 7/8"
The plate is also insulation to prevent heat transfer into the carb
If your bike is hard to start after it gets hot that's why, the fuel in the float bowl is boiling
I see ya got the 1" intake spacer I know the hole don't line up exactly and it's smaller than the intake port on the cyl and carb
Match the intake spacer hole with the intake port on the cly and carb
If ya jig it up right in a drill press the hole can be easily drilled with a drill press. 7/8" hole
Remove any casting obstructions from the Intake and Exhaust ports
Use #85 main jet if ya got a 22mm carb
Make your own intake gaskets because the gaskets that Whizzer gave ya are for a 26mm carb.
You should advance your Cam dot timing mark one tooth counterclockwise for more power. you'll notice a huge difference
Maybe Whizzer already did it at the Factory?
For even more power so you'll be able to climb those hills shave .060" off the head deck and use a copper head gasket
Adjust your valve lash to Intake .006 Exhaust .008"
Take out of the exhaust pipe baffle and just cut off the first two sections and only use the end part that bolts on
Or buy the high flow baffle from www.whizzercruzzerparts.com/product/exhaust-intake-silencer
I recommend the high flow baffle for best performance, and if it comes with a little back pressure tab on it, cut that off because it hurts performance.
IF ya got oil spitting out from your breather tube the Big Breather will stop that

If your interested I can show ya how to make a smaller breather.
I
my Whizzer M/B
