I just moved from a 2012 with 24K to a 2017 with (now) 2K. I notice much less vibration on the bottom end (~1k-4.5K RPM) on the new bike. I presume that is due to the improved clutch basket on the Gen 2 bikes. Once the bike revs at or above 5K RPM it feels like it vibrates (mostly in the bars)...

I just picked up a cherry 2017 with 600 miles (not a typo) and the spokes in the front were mostly in the 4-6 NM range. Most of the rear ones were so loose that I couldn't even measure their torque. I had to go around about 10 times slowly adjusting them, making sure to not turn any nipples...

I am looking at this some more, and there is a yellow electrical tape around the connector that is supposed to go into the TB. I wish they would have used a different connector, or at the very least used a different color plug. No matter, I used some orange paint on the plug and the TB so I...

that is exactly what happened. the last/4th coil wire was plugged into the right TB. She fired right up, and it sounded so sweet without the airbox.

I got it to start, but it is really really rough, and it is back firing from the TBs. I am now convinced my timing is off. I know that I have the cam marks correctly lined up with the K pointing to the notch on the the side of the case. What if I am off by a full 360 ?

I got my 2013 back together after adjusting the valves and putting fresh plugs in. It will crank, but it won't start. It backfired a few times, and it ran once for about 1 second but then died. It sure seems like it is flooded, but I don't know anymore. Everything went back together without...

I have yet to tackle the clutch upgrade. Did you use the old plates/springs with the new basket ?

That noise is embarrassing when I am with other riders.

My stock CCT makes a nasty noise when I fire it up from cold. It is a 2013 with 24K miles. I am about ready to do this since I am stuck at home anyways. A couple of easy questions from your great explanation: 1- To turn the engines, which crank/bolt do I use, is it safe to use the rear wheel...
