I didn't really pay attention to the break in period recommendations... And now I have 78 km on the clock. I think I might tinker with the carb in the near future, if I ever get some free time. Mid throttle seems like it's pretty flat, and it sounds like everyone moves the needle clip to the 4th slot right away.

Now that I have a title, I figure the bike is much more valuable. That and the new bars, and the removal of all Qlink evidence, and the bike is going to be worth more than I paid for it!

I'm glad you had some nice weather to ride.

Please be careful when riding on limited access highways with any 200cc motorcycle; in fact, I would strongly encourage you not to do it. I'm sure others, especially FastDoc, will agree with my recommendation. These little engines are struggling very hard just to maintain speed with the slower highway traffic, and they have no reserve available to escape danger, if necessary. :(
