I removed the leaves as well only I bent mine into a lazy Z. Smiley Three needed adjusted. one exhaust valve was fine. It took a couple hours. I lost the rubber thing for my fuel tank in the process. Can't find it anywhere. The front of the tank wobbles too much. I guess I'll order one.

My upper motor mount was pretty loose. I figured that was the cause of my nasty vibrations.

The Raptor petcock came apart when I attempted to remove the fuel line. I will be ordering one of those as well.

The bike runs much quieter and smoother now. Once I replace the missing/broken stuff all I need is highway bars for my trip to Boston.

If a tube slipped out of the body on the petcock, you can fix that,,

Make marks on the tube that would cause drag, use a little JB weld.

Surely you can find a chunk of suitable material to jam in the tank mount,,

I didn't think of the JB Weld. I already ordered a replacement. Oh well. And believe it or not, I could not find anything to stick in there. But, my grass got cut and I found it laying in the grass. So I'll get that back together today.
