Mine had problems mid range too, But I found that the more I ride it
the better it gets! Also some previous owner had put a larger front
sprocket on, changing it for a std one improved things no end, heaps
more fun, reduced mid range problems and lots more go!
My bike really goes well in the higher rev range, pulls like a 2
stroke power band, great fun factor.
I adjusted my mixtures by unbolting the back of the tank and chocking
it up, lots more room.
Cheers Ben.
