Glad to be of help, enjoy your ride. Nice looking bike.

Take it apart again and look closely you'll see what I'm talking about.

Trumpet saved the day......

That's the problem with the cheap Chineseum copies without instructions..... there can be little things that can cause issues.

Luckily Trumpet had specific knowledge on that air cleaner assembly...

In a way, have a weird flat spot in the throttle that hesitates, but then picks back up. Right around the transition to top end. However, ice tried rejecting several sizes and adjustments, cannot get it to go away, I improved it but it's annoying
