Here is what I did to manage the oil leak I was telling you about in my first post. I know it's just a "band aid" fix, but it seems to work. After 100 miles, I can't see no oil sipping out of the case like it did before.

Here is what I used.

Permatex® Ultra Grey® Rigid High-Torque RTV Silicone Gasket Maker

Unless backed up with dyno test before and after IMO it is just a wishful thinking to justify the purchase price to oneself.

Full exhaust might be a different story. This bike needs rejetting and uncorking the **** end and lungs at the same time.

Dynojet (stage 2) and KDX snorkel installed. Now I can feel a difference. Nothing to rip your arms off, but enough to lift the front wheel in first.

I messed with the spark arrestor a bit too. I found the Q4 to be way to loud to my taste. The 1 1/8" quiet core being around 40$, I tried to tamper the sound with what I had around the house, an angle grinder and some pliers to reduce the "stock" spark arrestor diameter.

Here is the result:

It worked.

Nice. Is that the "in" or "out" end of the spark arrestor?
