Now as it's a mild pain to get that carb out and the bike was bogging down, it was easier to just restrict airflow and see how that affects the performance as that only meant taking the seat off.
The other source of constant joy on one of these are failing brake-light switches. Turns out you can either buy the 60 or 70 Euro stock part or go to your local electronics shop and get a microswitch for a whopping 1.89 Euros, which in my cases almost puts it on par with the fuel costs, and then just solder it on to the stock cables.
The only other modification required was a 5mm bearing ball. Now, where do you get a single 5mm bearing ball, if you don't want to go to the shops to buy one...
They say German bikes are built without any hint of emotion, Japanese bikes are fine-mechanical marvels and Italian ones? Well, they need a slightly more laid back approach with built-in ingenuity and creativity. 😉
