I did adjust the idling.. even at 1200rpm it felt to low, especially when turning it on cold... I found the adjuster screw easily and adjusted it to be a little higher more around 1300rpm which is sounding a lot better.
I believe from what I can see the stock dogbone is still on the bike, so I don't think I have to raise that, maybe some adjustments but I believe he didn't change out the link to lower the suspension BUT might have shaved off some of the seat itself.. If that makes any sense?
I think if I just raise the front forks I won't have the problem, I don't think he slammed the front forks but he definitely lowered them.
