I’ll share the torment as the only time I can work on it is after I put my little kids to sleep every night or when I take a day off from work

Ran a new wire for the kill switch and got that finished up. Also installed a new chain and the carb shock I made.

I also got to tune the carb some today. I’ve worked up to a 120 jet. It sounds great.

I put the chain on. Had to run a tap through the TQ cover bolt holes. Cut the chain relief holes in the cover and put it on.

Maiden voyage. I took it out for a long shakedown run today. It’s a beast! I need to instal some vents in the billet side cover for more crank case ventilation. It runs perfect with the 120 jet. It might handle the 125.

Not sure of the speed yet. Didnt check it yesterday. I was just making sure everything was working.

For anyone wanting to know, this 26mm carb runs great. I’ve had zero issues with it. Smooth stable idle and very responsive. Waiting on a catch can to ride some more.
