Ok, it's all stock - Any particular reason you feel the need to install a jet kit? Just wondering!

Looks like a cream puff, and only 3000 miles. Welcome, and enjoy the torque.

From Michigan, Grand Rapids area. Reason for jet kit: bike seems lean. Not as easy to start as it could be. Stumbles a bit 1/8-1/3 throttle position. I'm thinking needle.

Start simple, do a carb sync first, check/change your air filter and spark plugs.

Welcome aboard!

You probably saw it on Ebay. The person who won the auction never paid. Only wanted to use a personal check. I had told the seller via email if the first person didn't work out to call me and he did! The cycle gods were looking out for me! Went and looked at it and it was very clean. Put new tires on it along with new plugs and changed all hydralic fluids. It runs great except for just a little studdering early on in the throttle position and probably could use a larger pilot to smooth out the starting process.
Overalll couldn't be happier.

A jet kit is reported to improve the torque on an all stock bike, because the midrange is lean with stock jetting, for emissions.

You're going to love it!!

Very nice...great catch! I like the red, but that blue sure has something going for it, too.
