So it's been a LONG time coming, but St. Tibbins is FINALLY on the road. Well. Sort of.

I got the engine issues mostly sorted out by swapping the stock Pilot Jets for 50's and 137.5 Main Jets. This solved my stalling issue. I may be running too rich now, but the bike runs and I was able to reset the timing! I decided to take him once around the block. Bike has an AWESOME amount of pickup and is loud as anything. I am still pretty cautious riding him because I am still a new rider.

Bike only stalled out twice. Once at a stop light, I was clutching out to keep steady on the uphill and I let out a little bit. Second time was in a turn and it was a bit harrowing. I need to figure out why that happened. Bike shifts a bit chunky and I think I am going to replace my clutch cable and throttle cable along with the hand grips. Can't wait to head out with this bike though. It really turns heads with it's straight pipes!
