I rode it about 10 miles so far. It's alright. My top speed on my route to the bar and back went up from 34 to 40 and the average speed went up from 15 to 25. It vibrates a good bit but i kinda expected that and it's not much more than the stock motor. It has a bit of piston noise, but it goes away after getting above idleish rpms
Definitely pulls a lot better but it's no speed demon yet. I want to add a second exit tube on the exhaust to help that breath a little better as it is definitely a big limitation and also it looks cool as shit. I'm still really fighting picking up a new exhaust.
I probably need to downjet still as I haven't done that and it sounds a little rich; it's not 4 stroking but i feel like it's hard to get variated bikes to 4 stroke like a single speed. Temps are super chilly and it doesn't really go over 280. I could probably advance the timing too. It's pretty tame at 1.5mm. Idk what im doing yet. I don't have much time to tinker during the week. So i'll mess with it some more this weekend.
I am currently waiting for some parts to swap out the stock lighting coil to try and get 12v and a brake light so I can ride it to work and not get killed in rush hour traffic. That stuff should come tomorrow. Also have a set of EBRs i wanna throw on it because the stock fork is pretty shit and rusty; im sure that will be a chode and take me too many hours to fit.
