I fouled a plug. :roll: I could feel it loading up, but didn't dare to blow it out.

At any rate, this machine lacks NOTHING, except maybe a comfy seat.
I don't have enough seat time and never exceeded half throttle, but I am optimistic that this unit will be ideal for me. Just need to change the gearing. Stock is too tall for the woods.

I'm getting anxious to get out for a real ride.
Cool. I have 4 days at the track on mine and I'm loving it. I did have to put a new clutch in, but other than that, a fantastic bike. Mines an '05 (very, very little difference from the '08 ), and its pretty modded, Eric Gorr 265cc kit, port and polish, PC pipe w/shorty, V-force, Enzo revalve/respring both ends, and subtanks, and so on. Anyway, its great. When I saw it for sale I had to have it, so much so, that I sold my AF to Ported and Polished. Not regreting it YET, but I am riding with Terence this weekend, lol.
Too much of a puss for a 500!

Love riding this thing, but...still fouling plugs.
It's making me mad.

I had a '98... the jetting in it was vastly leaner than stock, down like 8 on the main and 6 on the pilot. It also fouled plugs pretty easily, the main issue was an incorrectly adjusted float setting. I'm not sure if the newer ones need such a dramatic change to run acceptably, though.
