Im running that kit. Thats why I was wondering what you got for numbers. Im happy with the results I got. Its got plenty of power and I havent had an issue. I do have manual compression releases. Do I wish I wouldve bought the 120r? of course. I just didnt want to spend that kind of money at the time.

What are you waiting for. As long as you don't go full throttle, and keep it there, you're not going to hurt anything opening it up. In fact, you're helping it break in. It's a machine. Get out there and ride it like you want to.

I was thinking he wouldn't have this issue if he'd trade it for a 2010. Would already be broken in.

ok...to clear up why i traded in for another 2011....is because my dealer rolled me into a new 2011 with 8 miles on it for free....i traded in my 2011 with 6,xxx plus miles on it....same bike...same color...and i kept all my pipes...breather....all mods.......my bike i had deveolped an extreme ticking noise that no one could find out what was making the noise....the dealer said he didn't want me riding around on that thing telling people i bought it from him.....so he cut me a deal on a new one...and gave me a discount on the new pro 103 upgrade kit and the monkeybars....kinda of why im babying this bike so much....after the last ticking time bomb....don't want to end up with another bike that sounds like a diesel engine.....lol

Cool

Real world ride. You will pull until you hit the rev limiter. Atleast mine does.
