First test ride,
Started the bike, choke,... sound is good.
Clutch,.. first gear,.. little throttle,.. and go...... hmm, not smooth. 
3 minutes later bumping and spluttering,.. choke off,.. worse..W.T.F .. choke on little better.
Hmmm,... fuel problem ... Back to the work shop. 
Removed all necessary parts and checked all what is related to the fuel system.
Problem located,.. found fluff from a rag in the main jet of carb 2 and 3.
Next test ride is scheduled for hopefully this weekend.
Be continued.

Maybe all things ride better when they are dirty?

Second test ride,
I don’t know where to start .....
She feels complete different. 
It is too much to mention, only a few highlights.
She is superlight with cornering.
Suspension on the front feels for the first trusted.
Clutch is more direct.
80% of the vibrations are gone.
So far no technical defects discovered.
Only, possible by placing a clean air filter the carb adjustment can be better.
That’s the only thing what needs some attention.
I can everyone recommend the modifications I did.
