Speak to the pro about this. You paid after all. However, these bikes can be a right PIA. I have two and rode out on one today. It starts easily and idles but the low speed riding is poor. And this is a fresh engine. I have always thought the two cams chain drive does it no favours. Not sure which final sprocket you are running but at local road speed you are barelyusing any throttle so tuning for that just off idle mix is tough. Currently available replacement silencers are straight throughwith no baffles and combined with the big valves makes low speed running no fun. If you roll the power on I bet it is a lot better.Make sure your carbs are set up correctly ie throttle cables pull equally on each side etc. Start at the beginning and checkall the basics with great care and take notes.
