Hell of a win in G-Vegas this past weekend hey...That was freaking AWESOME>>>> go Pirates...

Thanks for the info, I just tried letting it warm up for 30 seconds with the choke out, then rode and put it at half throttle, then all the way in. It's running good, just runs better when its warmed up. And...GO PIRATES!!!

To the rest of the guys, thanks for the helpful info. I never expected to get so many replies, so thanks!

I have the exact same bike and this has been my experience.
