thanks, this is actully the newest biek i have ever owned lol
well got out to the barn today to do some more tear down of parts to send to the powder coater.
tank off and airing out waitign to go to the powder coater
right side forwards and brake rod off
left side forwards off
Cracked the camchest to have a peek at the tensioners, they look damn near brand new with no noticable wearing on the outer and barely the thickness of a paper on the inner. so now i am debating on wether i want to do them this winter or hold off another riding season and do them next winter...

the attached pic was taken bout 5 minutes ago from my backdoor. our winters in this part are very short usualy jan and feb are when i have to stop riding by end of feb im back out riding.
as well the hyd upgrade is $567cad before 15% tax and the extra not included bits and pieces. next winter i am pulling the cases down to have them all powder coated so while the cases are split i plan on getting the crank either trued or if the run out is to much gettign a high end one and going gear drive so no sense in spending the $$$ on a hyd upgrade at this point in time if my mechanicals are still servicable
