Well, Knucklehead, since you just did the jetting..sounds like you went too big and are running rich. I don't know where you can get that thing out to run down the road, but if you can, do this.

Get up to a good cruising speed, say 50 - 60. Roll on the trottle full bore to get going in a high gear 5th or 6th. After accelerating full throttle, roll off just a hair. If the bike speeds up when you do that, you are rich and need to go back one size on the jets. If not, the jets are fine.
