Sounds like you need to adjust the fuel screws....too lean. Or maybe a vacuum leak..

Speaking of fuel, my first full tank if gas was all freeway and I only got 35mpg where I used to get 42ish... Gonna check my fuel screws and I still haven't swapped the dynojet "stage 3" crap back to stock yet so maybe I'll have to adjust the jets?

35! 42??!! :dash1: :dash1:
OMG! I really need to work on my carbs!  :diablo:
I would be lucky to be getting 25...I guess if I ever got my speedo going I could check a little better.  :hang1:
I guess next payday I will get a vacum pump. This pay day I had to get new front and rear wheel bearings. 42....whatever..lol

before you buy those bearings from a bike shop or online, give McGuire bearings a call with the dimensions of the bearings. I got some for the front of mine for I think 5 bucks.. an they are good quality. they are very friendly. they on the very inner part of southeast ptown

Oops... :crazy: :dash2:
too late. I am a little panicked..I am lucky I moved when I did..my back tire is doing a little wobble..so I ordered them right when my paycheck went through..I was hoping that I had done it soon enough to get them by Friday..but no such luck..it looks like I will not get them until Mondayish.
