I did about 130 miles on it today, about 60 getting home from the dealers, and another 60 or so later.
Poping from the exhaust (must remove the air injection),
the bike was smooth and fast, but need the 18 or maybe even the 19 tooth front sprocket, the motor has enough power to pull that easy..
The off road silencers are to quiet, I cant hear the exhaust at all at speed, and that is how I track my speed somewhat, by engine sound.
After the days riding, I checked things out and found the carb mounting rubbers loose, and gas mixture spraying out on the intake manifolds, plus the crankcase vent hose was not on its airbox nipple, that is why I do my own work on bikes and cars...
I have not found a comfortable setting for the bars yet, if I ever do, They were to far forward/high on the way home, later after I changed them I got a pain in my left elbow, odd...
I put them about half way between the two positions.
The motor does make a lot of mechanical noise when its hot, but it sounds normal to me.
I am really excited about the electric start, I have not had that for the last 15 years or so!
The bike was very nice 2 up with the wife, although our butts got sore and my elbow had pain (odd)..
Looks like the new bike is going to be around for a long time...
