Yeah , not on their web site . You have to call them - ask for Daniel Holt

PS I'm not affiliated / don't work for this company - just want to give them a good rap fro their products and services!

Rode it about 10 km around the neighbourhood the jetting is crap! Smooth enough until you give it a handful from steady throttle then it bogs down.
The shop was supposed to have fixed the jetting as part of the PDI , told me they were fitting a NECH needle which would provide a good result!
It will be heading back to the shop for them to sort it![/QUOTE]

Had all sorts of excuses from the dealer as to why it was running like crap (all my fault of course) and they would not come and collect the bike to sort it....

Ended up telling them I was bringing it in myself and I wouldn't be back to get it til it was running correctly.

They called me back the next day after i dropped it off ....they had left one of the restrictors in the air box ...hence the crap running!

They will be dropping it back next week.....we'll see if that's fixed it!

That happened to me also, found the restriction when taking of the air filter. It really spoils the power when wot :D

I believe my bike still has that plastic piece of shit in the air cleaner, what's it look like? That said, my bike runs fine :)

As for the shit running, mine ran like a turd from new. the culprit was a poorly adjusted power valve :(

Beastie Boy 06-07-2020 03:19 AM

Thanks for the replies.

Glad to hear it is not just my bike . According to the dealer this was "a new restrictor we have never see on this model before" LOL :rolleyes::confused:

I'll see if they can bring it when they drop the bike back so I can post a pic!

I took your advice a few posts back Rodent and tried adjusting the power valve (Just knocked it back from 2 turns out to 1.5 turns). Did not change the shit running.

What was the problem with the adjustment of your power valve and how did you fix it?

Thanks

You need to re-read the manual, you have adjusted the powervalve to not give you heaps of top end punch, you need 2+ turns to get the sucker hopping. Where is says "tighten" in red below it actually means CCW

Mine is set at 2 1/4 turns CCW.

Dismantling and adjustment:

3. Tighten the screw (CW) (2) to the bottom and then tighten(CCW) according to the
