engine cruise rpm

[pdstreeter@mmm.com]

I want to buy a complete choke cable assembly from the lever on the handlebars to the plunger in the carb. I also want to buy a muffler clamp that goes just below the airbox, behind the rear master cylinder between the header pipe and the muffler pipe. Thanks, Paul Streeter Minnesota pdstreeter@...

Mine smooths right out around 5k, Only thing I would recommend is check your oil at fillups along the way. Kawi made it simple with a window, just stand bike up level and if the oil is at the top or just over the top of the window. Keep going. Back at stock gearing now, but even 14/43 or 15/45 sprockets is fine, but when I went 14/45 that was really pushing it for me at least for extended periods.
