I'm in AZ right now but my family lives Rio Grande Valley. I go to Harlingen and Primera for XMAS maybe I can come by and check out the bike in person one day. The bike looks really nice I can't wait to get mine finished.

When I got the bike it had loss power, and wouldnt go over 30mph and it had a slight tick to it. I opened it up to check the infamous timing chain tensioner. I noticed that the cover had been opened before so I was kind of worried. I opened it up and saw that the chain and tension were good and looked like they had been replaced before. But as I looked on the inside of the side cover I noticed it had some gouges in it. And as I looked behind the chain it look the same as well.. I cranked it over in quick cranks,(not turning it on) and the chain doesnt seem to have any play in it.. I guess I am gona check valve adjustment to see if anything is going on up there... Embarrassed

Do you all see anything wrong, anything im missing?...

The plunger is pretty well extended for a new chain.
maybe they kept the old guides, if you replace the rear one, the plunger will go in at least 3mm. The one I replaced had moderate wear, if that one is worse, then you'll get more.

check the cam timing if you got no power, a newb can easily mis-time it.

Set it on exactly TDC on the case marks and look where the cam timing marks are. If they line up with the head exactly, it's a new chain. slightly up, used chain. anywhere else and it's mis-timed.

No not yet. Need to check that. I am leanibg twords timing chain because it would turn on, & idle good, but if you would rev WOT it wouldnt rev much and it had a funky rattle inside.
