If you want some more mid power shim the governor spring 3mm to open the power valve about 500-700 RPM’s later. That was a tip from Nino I tried and worked pretty good. It’s pretty much a free mod to try. On my 07 I also added the STIC metering block and JD STIC specific needle and that mod 100% works. The bike pulls harder on top with more over rev. The key is the newer .113 tube and JD STIC needle. Put on the 05-07 air boot, that’s another cheap mod and will definitely help. And good job on the bike by the way👍🏼👍🏼
