Well, I did the 1000 mile service on Monday and switched everything over to synthetic. It seems to run much better now for some reason. I plan on putting 5-600 more miles on the next two days and we'll see if it loosens up some more. I do plan on doing the stage 1 in the next couple months.

I also noticed there is a buzzing sound coming from the front of the bike when shutting it down after a ride. (Not the normal clicks of everything cooling off). Never noticed it until after my first service. I'm trying to figure that one out as well.
