Title: THANK YOU JARDINE
Post by: commuterdude on November 03, 2008, 03:59:08 PM
This exhaust is freaking AWESOME!  Gone is the enraged lawnmower sound, replaced  by a PROPER motorcycle rumble!   :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :thumb:

I left the stock 125 mains in place for a plug chop.   Just riding the bike  a few miles with the 125 jets it seems to do SUPER.  The bike is much less boggy on the bottom end although I factor the cooler
weather for improving this also.

Will do the plug chop ASAP  and go from there, probably to the 137.5 main jets.

I can't believe how a simple bolt on has transformed my scooter into a JAMMIN' MOTORBIKE!

Duh they were 127.5 jets.   but I did the plug chop last night and the plugs look Buddha Love You perfect so I will stay with the 125's.   I just get a very slight popping on decel if I slam the throttle shut in lower gears.  Only bad thing is now with the time change and cooler weather I can only ride the thing on the weekends, as there are deer running everywhere all night long.   I think I counted 5 dead deer on the way home today.
