I got the scoot out for a ride yesterday; a beautiful day, but quite cold.
For the first time in a while, I've actually been able to get up to full speed. With all the issues, I had been topping out at around 45 - 50; this ride I was getting up to 55 easily and hit 60 on a downhill.
I haven't read the plug yet, but I have noticed 2 things while riding.
1) I get some popping from the exhaust. It seemed to be mostly at lower speeds (like coming to a stop) and maybe worse when the engine was cold.
2) When accelerating from idle, or rolling on throttle (like when rounding a corner), it will stumble a bit; it didn't stall at all, just the stumble when giving gas.

I always thought the popping was from lean conditions and not sure what to think about the stumbling. I will ride it more when the weather permits and keep an eye on the plug condition before making any more changes.
