ive looked into it more and realized that the lack of power is because my bike is "nekkid"! the intake is getting rammed with air and i have to fix that. at least im pretty sure thats it. The clutch problem might be that the clutch cable was messed up so it was half engaged the whole way there...though I didnt smell anything...hmm...it might have just heated up really badly and was just slipping rediculously bad.

 

good luck with the clutch and making some ( partial) covers for the air inlets.... at least it'll be an easy fix.... Enjoy your new ride!!!

 

At the risk of being flamed, I will tell you how I fixed my ram air problem.

I stuffed an old sock into the left intake, blocking it completely, and left the right one alone. It runs great, I promise!

 

hahaha, before i even read that last post i thought to myself, i hope he doesn't cram a sock in there! hahaha...

 

unfortunately my bike was stolen that very next night. Needless to say im pretty pissed. If you guys come across a person in/ near Austin texas trying to sell you parts or a bike thats obviously been wrecked...please contact me. 971 4146. and yes....i checked with police to see if it was towed and filed a stolen vehicle report.

 

Hello, I know it's been quite some time since your post but when I read it I happened to remember a Craigslist post from about a month and a half ago. Check it out and see if it looks familiar. http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/464116614.html Sorry to hear about your bad news.

 

hope you didnt pay too much for it
