Yeah, I'm wanting to put a flat seat on it. Not sure if I want to make one, or buy one from motolanna
I believe the stock setup for the idle mix screw is 2 turns counterclockwise from lightly seated.Extreme_250 said:Got the bike legally on the road today! It took me a long time, but hey me being only 16 it takes time haha. Having some issues with it though. After riding it down the highway then shutting it off, it doesn't wanna start up again. Give it 15 minutes and it'll start up OK with some throttle. I checked the plug and it looked perfect, and it's getting spark when it's hot. Not sure what's wrong, it's never done this before. It doesn't wanna idle right either, keeps stalling at stop. The idle is either to high or to low, I cant seem to get a medium. Any ideas? Also, what is the standard setting for the idle mixture screw? Thanks for any help!
RE turn signals - be wary of the LED versions. There was a recent comparison on AdvRider and the stock 1156 turn signal bulb was way brighter and more visible than any of the LED versions (plus you generally need to get a digital flasher unit due to the lack of resistance). I got a set of fake carbon fiber ones with 1156 bulbs, but had to extend the wiring and crimp on new bullet plugs.Extreme_250 said:On the list to buy:
Turn Signals
Tail Light
Front stop switch
Different seat
Chain and sprockets
I was recently following a build of a Yamaha XV930R and he used a LED tail light/turn signal unit from TST Industries he really liked.Extreme_250 said:Any recommendations on where to find a decent quality tail light?

If I turn the idle speed screw up to where it won't die, when you rev it up and roll the throttle back it idles crazy high (the throttle cable isn't sticking). Can't get the idle to come down until you turn the idle screw back down, and then it won't idle without slight throttle. Any ideas? Thanks!
