Justin: Timing could be off, but it would be the previous owner's fault
. I switched out for a verslavy at 20,000 and the cam chain seemed fine. If so, I'll have to wait until I pull the top off the engine to check...
Versy, I will definitely do the bowl check, but itll have to wait until I can get to the store to replace the rusty nut in the drain plug.
Sero, I get 56 miles between each filling of the tank and having to switch to reserve (I take pictures of the mileage with my iphone every time the tank dies, average is 56 miles between). When I refill the tank, I put in 2.3 gallons on average (usually within a mile or 2 of where it dies). Math adds up to just under 25. Bike seems pretty happy, and a compression test showed 125 PSI (service limit is 114).
Speaking of, isn't the tank supposed to be 2.8 gallons total with a reserve tank of 1 gallon. Shouldn't I only be putting in 1.8 gallons?
