The idle is way too low - and that makes almost no oil pressure and starves the cylinder head for oil. Also idling on the side stand leans the bike to the left.....and little or no oil gets to the right side cam lobe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGnIGE8uhNM

You can still look at it if the motor is burned up

Reply #6 - 03/12/16 at 13:19:23 I'll take a guess at around 750rpm. Tried to see how low I could adjust the idle on my bike just because I could, lower than 750rpm it wouldn't idle right. Hard seat, hard tail and no front brakes, it's all one big ouch. Not quite what I would ride.

It's like buying a good pickup truck and lowering it and putting low profile tires on it. That thing wouldn't stand a chance of staying with me, out in boonies or a quick hop across town.
Set up with that , what? Seat? That's not a seat, and that's Not a suspension. There are intersections around here that will toss people around in the car at ten MPH.. Imagine being on That..
And Imagining riding is all he is gonna be able to do soon, if he doesn't jack the idle up.
