and custom paint with red tank and some pretty black road rash(old owner).

sorry bout the bad pics I took them with my phone

 

Looks like you got a little work ahead of you but sounds like a fun project. Welcome to the forum and have a safe ride once you get her all together.

 

i'd replace the d&d with something less obnoxious but the rest will turn out. You will need f4 bearings for the front wheel as the inner diameter is different between the f4 and f4i.

 

I want to cut the d&d to make it a shorty.Or is there another exhaust to give me more power?

 

Exhaust itself won't do much, but every little bit helps.

 

only a full exhaust system will give you more power and not even that will be much notice. The d&d is loud and obnoxious and people wont like riding around you. If you cut it down it'll be that much louder.

 

check the carbs make sure the are jetted, and a.p.e. cam chain tensioner the stock ones go out. have had 2 do it in under 32,000 miles

 

Thanks for the info for on the tensioner.How can I check the jets to know if it's been messed with?

 

factory pro jets say "FACTORY" on the side of the jets.

dyno jets say(what i can rember) D.j. on the top on one side and the jet # on the other side of the top.

also if it was jetted the needles should be adjustable

 

ok so i cut the d&d.It is a lil bit louder but not so bad that I can't hear myself think. It did make the throttle a lil snapper on the low end.I do want to get a two bros or yosh n cut it so I can get rid of the d&d.still haven't checked the carbs tho.
