[Dave-DR]

Hi all, so i picked up my new bike last week, and im now planning my mods and deciding which route to go.

The set up from the dealer is apauling;

• The rear brake was non existant, i had to adjust the rod up, after which its fine, but to let me ride away from the dealers down a busy A road with no rear brake at all speaks for it self.
• The chain tension was compeletly out, with the nuts on both sides of the swing arm to adjust it been lose.
• Air filter hose was cable tied and kinked so bad it was stoping almost any air gettng to the engine.
• The 2 outlet pipes situated by the airfilter were possitioned on top/touching the chain and dripping\outputing all there crap onto it.

So the bike needs some TLC to get it running smoothly,


Now the mods im planning, to start with just a few things to make the bike run smoother;

• Spark plug, looking at NGK ones but not sure which is the right one to get?
• Front sprocket, i was looking at a 17 tooth one for this engine on ebay, but the sellers got none left and i cant find a good alternative source
• Air Filter, the hose is damaged\perm kinked, so at some point ill replace that or should i go with a pod filter like this one; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Air-Filter...item27c31034e5

With the above mods would anything else need changing to go with them? (ie the carb jet sizes)

I then plan to also add;

• 12v DC Accessory socket.
• Heated grips.
• Windshield.

Any other usefull mods?

If anybody knows were to get the parts (bearing in mind im in the UK) or has any input its all appreciated.

Thanks, Dave
