just ease it open a hair (you dont wanna make a leak) The bike really does run at its best in the stock setup if you have the patience and smarts to learn it's quirks.

I prefer to leave things stock, at my point in life I don't have much of an interest in top end and if there's anything to do with real power I want, I prefer better acceleration from whatever speed I'm at. I'm also am interested in fuel efficiency.

This bike didn't come stock, there is a 4-1 on it and its air filter came ruined. I'm willing to put on a washable foam filter on the old filters metal frame or cannibalize a K&N auto filter & mod that in but still, with the 4-1, it's not going to be a stock bike and I am concerned about running lean.

Definitely going to be a fun project.
