Kim:

The bike is currently stock and only time I have ever experienced any bogging is if the bike is extremely cold and I am carring a pasanger (then we weigh together about 300 pounds). When I am alone I have no problem. I open the choke to start but after about 10-20 seconds I can close it and it idles just about 1400rpm. I currently get about 53 MPG mostly highway.

Should I do this mod or should I leave well enough alone?

Also I was thinking of removing the snorkel. If I do then I think I will definitely need to shim it, but until I decide to remove it what should I do?
