Yes!! I DID it! I did not one, not two but FIVE mods today. Short description follows.
Today I did the following modifications:
1. Denso platinum spark plug
2. Spark plug door
3. Pod style air filter
4. Main jet from 132.5 to 137.5
5. 1/2 white spacer
It took 5 hours. This was the first time I dismantled the bike, except the seat mod I did earlier. I removed the seat, the fuel tank (it came off easily) and the battery wit the box.
I had some trouble with the top of the carb because the screws weren't move. WD40 and gentle hammer hits solved2 of them but I had to drill out the 2 other
Later I replaced all with hex (allen) type ones.
The spark plug door thingy works well but I will have to put something instead of the backside screw because the door knock a little the engine.
I was so tired I tried the settings only for 10 minutes. Tomorrow I will ride it for a little more time.
Photos to come...
Top chop work. You can see my homemade bike lifter.
Spark plug door. I will put something in to end the noise. The infamous oil leak is there too
Denso platinum spark plug.
The new air filter. I love the sound as it sucks the air in when I pull gas!
The white spacer before filing.

The carb needle. There are 3 positions on it, what are they for?
I found this plug under the tank. What is this for?
And this?
After all the work was done I fired up the bike. It wasn't starting that easy since everything was out and then been put back. After 3-4 ignitions something boomed a loud and the pod filter coughed back some gasoline. Finally the engine started and the bike had some great sound!! Yahhhhooooooo!! Then I took out the bike for a short ride (oops, without helmet, jacket...). It had very cool sound I mean much more sharp as before. As I give gas the air filter sucks in the air and it gives a cool sound too
One more thing: the bike NEVER backfired after stopping the engine!
So that is all for today. I am very proud of myself however I am not used to be. 8)
