Default Amazing Discovery!

I'm ready for the telemarketing show Amazing Discoveries!

Just this evening I discovered that when you are changing the oil in the primary and you forget to put the drain plug back in, it takes a LOT more oil to fill it!

Loving it so far. Got about 1500 miles on it now and no hiccups at all. As usual, the customer service was above and beyond. Jamie and Jim had me in and out in about 24 hours due to the tight schedule I was on. That included throwing in a stiffer clutch spring too. I had made arrangements with the hotel to store my bags in a locked room for a few hours after checkout and until they were done. I was getting ready to head down and checkout when Jamie called and told me that they were done.

That extra power really came in handy when I was in the Ozarks and having to pass in very limited distances. Also a bit of a curse. If I'm running around 3K or so RPM and hit a bump that moves my hand, the bike jumps forward from the acceleration. LOL. Gotta keep it down below 2200 or so.
