Hello from Finland

[Ville]

In the spring, I started riding a motorcycle again, after a 20-year hiatus. I bought a Drag Star (650 cc) in the spring, drove it for about 2000km and sold it just under 2 months after purchase. I bought Wild Star (2002) instead and have not regretted the exchange. Now the season runs are starting to pass, the meter came about 5500 km.

I have updated the motorcycle slightly. Kuryakyn USB power source, JMP battery monitor, bright headlight (Eagle Lights Generation III), LED auxiliary lights, K&N air intake system and Cobra Power Pro HP exhaust. Next week I will probably get dyno results.

Plans to make a trip to the Alps next summer, if the corona allows it.

If you ever want to sell your Wild Star tank badges please give me the opportunity. I am curious about your passenger foot peg setup?

[DEEPHATE]

Me also..

I don't think I've ever seen that color combination. Nice looking bike!

I don’t know the manufacturer, and I don’t even know if they’re comfortable. With double pipes (Vance & Hines), those got the footpegs lower. Now there is no problem with having a 2 in 1 pipe.

Thank you for the clarification.

That is a 2001 paint color on that bike.https://www.colorrite.com/wizardresults.cfm

Did you change the jets in the carburetor? With the intake and exhaust modifications it would be necessary. Also no real reason to dynontest the bike with those simple modifications.

[Ville]

I did nothing for the carburetor, but took the bike to the dyno test for adjustment (jets & needle).

From California. Two Finns in one week. I think that's a record. So... Mäkinen, Häkkinen, or Räikkönen?
