it did seem to be lacking power with the stock carb, but it was still new ... it was also a bit harder to get started, and ran way to lean on the top end ... with the 40/115 it is now a tad rich, but i thought i would have a better pipe and filter already and planned ahead for that ... the bike leaves me a bit puzzled though, when you get up around 6500 rpm it just seems to stop pulling in 5th as if it lacking the power to pull ... the odd part (to me anyway), is that with or without my wife on it, it is the same
