Got my bike back with a fresh rebuild. Still in the break-in period but runs nice. Should be better than factory now with the crank work etc. Dyno showed just short of 94 HP and just short of 106 Ft-lbs Torque. Other immediate impressions are no decel popping that is audible to me and seems to run much cooler. Here is a pic of the dyno run. So far happy. My wallet no longer makes my pants so tight.
Just got the first 500 km on it. Changed oil and no metal sparkles in the oil (thankful). Motor runs great and it wants to go but holding it under 3500 till it gets to 1,000 km then gradually open it up bit by bit. I really am liking the rebuild so far. Looks like the weather might let us squeak out 4 more weeks of riding this season.
