Thanks stinger your post makes me feel better about drilling. I just bought the bike in early January and haven't been able to ride (michigan weather) The bike is just barely broken in with 1000 mi's on it.The little that I have run it , it seems to be a little rich at idle after running for about 10-15 mins when I shut it down I can hear a little pop from the exhaust. is this normal?

Dave with the weather so darn cold, your fuel is running really rich, mine does the same when I go over and start her up. She was just fine when it was warm out. Wait till it hits 40, take it out and run her up and down the steet, maybe round the block, get her good and warm.

Ya I'll say at least in the 40's. Right now the roads are white with road salt. Don't need that mess either.But it is killing me to have a new bike in the garage that I havn't Ever riden. Drove to Jasper Ind to get it and it was raining to bad to even test drive and it's been snowing in Michigan ever since. As soon as I figue out how to post a pic I will.

That might have been easier.I know the Dodge truck and U-haul wasn't any fun. It was a 900 mi round trip of ice, snow , sleet and rain.
