Hi again 😁 your welcome, we are all here to help! We were all new at some point. You'll pick up information like a sponge with what you can find on these forums. Surf around, read old post, ask any questions you need. With a 115 main jet you should be ok, and if it starts right up and idled good than the pilot circuit should be ok to be safe enough to get you to break in the bike. If it seems to run,drive ok and does not exhibit obvious signs of problems ( glowing red exhaust, bogging out, surging, ETC.) Then proceed. One thing about these bikes that has been said by many members, many times and I found it true also is..... these bike change ,and loosen up as they break in and run better after 500 miles. Keep an eye on the plug, check it every 50 miles and see what's happening. Rack up some miles and enjoy your new bike!
My tbr7 came with a .88 main jet, #36 kehin (COLD START) jet. Bike started right up upon delivery and rode fine. NOW at about 500 miles. I have a main jet. "MARKED" 130 Air box lid removed, pilot jet "marked" #42, a/f screw 2 turns out. Bike is running real good, plug is showing some color now, still not the nice coffee color it should be. All these bike are a lil different. Guy not far from me at same elevation,and same exact bike has smaller jets in his carb and he says he's a lil rich. Also PLEASE check your valve clearance! All these bikes come with tight valve clearance. Plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it, it actually very easy to do. Important you check this.
