This 'new' plug saw 15 minutes run time. It's running a tad rich.

Job done, using the cheap Chinese made carb.
All fitted as expected,re jetted with mikuni jets and matched with a cheap cable and twist grip.
The boots to airbox needed minor mods but all fits and looks standard.
It does not go standard, this machine is now a beast,pulls hard with my 115 kg load and keeps pulling hard to 140 kph,where I backed off.
Easily ridden smoothly but highly responsive if given a handful.

The boots and carb bolt straight on, a bit of minor airbox boot mod,a new twist grip and cable to suit,re-jetted with mikuni jets.
All fits well and looks standard, but !!!
