Thank you for the welcome, meanwhile the odometer reads almost 300.
And Easy Rider, thanks for the tips. The tires are fine as it was stored under a cover (got it with the bike). There is only some rust on both mirror bars, from two winters.
I'm aware of the 16-tooth mod but I plan to keep it stock for the first 1,000 miles at least.
It is buzzy, but the gearbox is really sweet, shifting to 3-4-5 without clutch is no problem, it doesn't even say 'clunk'. My top speed do far: 65 mph. Now I know why people put a windscreen on it.
Thanks for the carb cleaner tip, I'll do that even though it idles fine and has no probems accelerating, at 65 mph there is still power left. Back to the dealer, I'm lucky, it's only about 5 miles from my home.
