There are a few differences in the styling between the two but mainly the Vulcan is a slightly lighter smaller bike in terms of the front hardware, forks, things like that it's a little bit more lightweight, which is why I chose it. I like my bikes as lightweight is possible.

re: valve cover vent. This looks like the perfect size and it's only $3.81 tax and all from O'Reilly auto so I think this is going to work great I'm installing it now. Comes with everything seen. I'd have paid that for the hardware alone.

I completely agree with that that's what it looks like to me as well. One question the back drive on the cvt says replace with GL -3 oil, but I know I can replace it with regular weight oil i just need to know what to use. I have forgotten.

The performance issues as of a few moments ago have completely been resolved and it even runs faster cause it's getting nice fresh cold air now instead of hot polluted air in the intake so let me tell you what was really the problem and the rag has been tossed away.

When I rerouted the rocker cover back to the air box like it was supposed to be with the original hose in the original place what I didn't do was look inside the where the airbox was sectioned off. I was unaware that this airbox had a special section in it just for the blowback from the crank case and that it had to be sealed off from the rest of the airbox. this one was wide open to the air filter cause the cover was broken in half. It looks like what's going to make my scooter run properly is to simply make a catch can and be done with the intake tube from the rocker cover.

It was supposed to look like this:





However it looked like this:







Idk why this was broken......







Here is the catch section that has a drain tube under it.

Ok took the bike out today so here is a pic of it.

I'm going to see if there's any more bogging tomorrow it started up fine but I've got it in my spare room so I can't really do anything with it. It certainly didn't hurt the acceleration it still seems to revel up to high rpm's pretty well so the only thing I've noticed is that it seems like it wants to bog from idle but that is being said having not been able to retune after moving the valves from 002 to 004/5 so after tomm we will see if it is still bogging.

I did set the mix by the tutorial, that's how I got the idle smooth. It pops both ways. Up and down. Up it bogs and spits. Down it backfires. Annoying that I set the valves by the tutorials and have to change them.

You are not explaining what it does here you say it pops in both direction but then say giving it throttle it BOGS and SPITS.
If it is backfiring decelerating I would suspect a AIR LEAK by the HEADER PIPE that connects to the head(very common if you took off the header and did not put in a new exhaust gasket) or if you did you tighten up the nuts on wrong(most folks that are not that mechanically inclined do. Most will tighten on nut up then the other(WRONG) you need to bring the flange up evenly and just snuge both nuts then criss cross tighten them little more. REASON is if you tighten one up first then the other the gasket will get pushed out to one side and will leak and you will get BACKFIRES on deceleration.

So DOES IT MAKE A POPPING SOUND when your giving it throttle getting up to speed say 30+ mph? If so TO MUCH FUEL IS BEING FEED. You probably have to big of a MAIN JET in it.

Listen to what the motor does the motor will make different sounds and each different sound tells what it needs.
So pay attention to how it actually acts otherwise we are just guessing on what the problem is.
