power increase

hey Easy I was just passing on this observation based on a test that I did. You rightly informed me that the "choke " on the carb is not a butterfly but an enricher circuit that opens a secondary jet so I have been experimenting with it because the bike does perform as I had expected when I bought it. I have in the past driven a triumph bonneville and a norton commando so I did not expect a lot of power. I did however drive a honda 305 dream when I was a kid ( 19 ) it could just touch 80 mph ( slight down grad ) and cruise all day @ 55-60 mph it also weighed about 300 lbs. I was looking for cruiser styling and the same functionality as that dream. I have 14000 km on the gz now most at hwy speeds 50-60 mph . So far with maintenance tips from this forum I have been able to keep it reliable.
