I'm sure there will be some who would say "chop it" but i think those of us who went that route know what we were getting into. Mine is chopped and just about at the phase where I'm planning to take it on longer rides out of town.
So what are the bonehead mechanical mistakes that are easy to make that will put an xs in the grave? I've seen many of them written about.
Too rich will wash the pistons?
Reverse battery installation or other high voltage short?
Something about a too-low idle speed?
Incorrect advance?
