It’s got a power cdr doohicky , and it’s been mapped, but it popos a bit on decel.I plan to fit baffles , cos I don’t want to piss my neighbors off. I rode it for 5 mins , and I’m happy with it.Ill be putting new tires on it ( when I’ve fitted the stock front wheel.Ill put it on full synthetic and flush the coolant and change the brake/ clutch fluid 👍.Whilst it’s in pieces it will get a detailing.I will post pics as of tomorrow

Congrats on the new ride

Do a search on Ivan's ECU flash and if you do that you will be amazed at how well it will run and no popping on decel.

Go to your control panel, cp, after you log in. Go to your photos folder, do as it says....should be a piece-o-cake....
I download from my phone, when I remember to photo something, to my laptop. Then I download from my laptop to VulcanBaggers.
Then post from there....

And if your loading a pic for a post Go to "Go advanced" button. "Paper clip" plug in your phone and use the "Browse" button on the Forum pop up. find your photo and let it up load. Go back to the "paper clip" and pic the photo file name below the new pop up. It will post. then "Preview Post" to see if you want it.
Nothing is easy the first time. But it is easy, once you have done it. Every one likes to say everything is easy, They are Right. But not the first time.

An example: I pulled the faring on my Vaquero for the first time. I watched Every vid I could find, learned a lot. But when it was time to do it, Even with a video on my garage computer ready to play if I needed it. It was not as easy as they said. Pulling on new parts, worrying if this or that will break or not come off like on the video. The angle that extraction of this and that will come off, ECT. The fear and expectations that " this was easy in the video, why not now". Now that it is over and reassembled. " HEY, IT IS EASY" Any one can do it. Well I had problems, But keep in mind I was never the Sharpest Tool in the shed.

Your Mileage may vary, too.
