    Trying to install as many of the factory decals as I can to help give this Atv the "stock" look

    Thanks, this thing is a beast. I forgot how much I like the smell of pre-mix 110. After running a tank of fuel through it a bit rich and fat oil mixture, it's time to lean it out a bit. I went from 182 main to 178 along with a new spark plug.

    I think I had Allen at CT go a bit too far with the port work. If I had to do it over again, I would want a good all-around port job. The powerband is very high and like a light switch (on or off). No matter what gear, when it's in it's power it's either spinning or raring up.

    I did outrun my buddies Trinity 295 Honda 250r though so very glad about that. We topped them out on that run. He has a trail tech vapor speedo and topped out at 96mph in 6th gear. Mine just kept pulling away from him in 5th. My iPhone4 said 104mph but was hard to read at that speed so not sure though.

    I adjusted the powervalve today. Set it a 1 1/4 turns CCW. That helped smooth out the very high "light switch" powerband this bike had and makes the HP a bit more manageable.

    Still practicing my launches for the Atv drags coming up. 2nd gear dumps from WOT seem to be the ticket so far.

    also, just won a full set of Lonestar +2 A-arms for this bike off eBay.
