That's about right, but be aware that you are better off having it a touch on the loose side than too tight. There are endless topics about factory spec's being too tight.......that's how I run mine...

Corbin Dual Touring Heated Seat

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with these seats as I picked up a used one for under half the price of new. The trunk pad is separate so would fit a Vaquero also

Don't worry about running at 3000 rpm for extended periods. It doesn't hurt a thing, plus you are right in that power band where you twist the throttle and you're gone :-)

I think you're making it more complicated than it has to be. You can buy pretty much whatever type you want off the shelf and such a small difference would make no difference. Now if you're talking...

Do you have a service manual. I'm no handier than the next guy but I found that removing the forks and servicing them was very easy when following the instructions. I haven't done the steering head...

That's all normal. There is nothing wrong with the bike, that's just where the fan kicks in (a little over half way). It has a lot to do with all the plastic fairing/lowers blocking all the cooling...

Try resetting it when you are cruising down the road at hwy speed and then let it be for a while. I get between 6 - 7 liters/100 km's consistently when travelling at hwy speeds of 110 to 120 km/hr. I...

It's not just these bikes. My buddy has a 15 Can-Am Spyder which does the same thing from neutral to 1st gear. just the nature of the beast. Try short shifting the bike (shifting at a way lower rpm)...

What oil were you running previous to this, and did you hear any of the same noise then? Did you make any changes to your bike before this noise started

What I'm getting from this is that you reassembled it and left one adjuster ahead about a full notch from the opposite one. Why you would leave them so far out I'm not sure as that tells you how far...

I don't know what to tell you, I've never put mine on without the bushings. My gut feeling is that it's fine tho. I'm almost willing to bet the slight movement is still there after you replace the...

I noticed that when I first got the bike. Coming from a shaft drive 1500 I was a bit concerned until I found out about the rubber bushings. I just check them every rear tire change to make sure there...

At what mileage did you replace your pulleys/belt? I have a front pulley that has a nice groove wore into it from the belt and it makes some noise also. I have a new pulley and am going to swap it...

In the end that didn't work out too well for him. I seem to recall the dealership told him to return the engine back to factory location for warranty reasons.

They don't all ride on the left side, there are some that ride on the right. As long as the notches are the same, the axle is aligned straight and you are good to go. Go ride that thing :D

Exactly right. I thought he was talking about the crankcase vent hose. I didn't see much change when I plugged the air injection hose on my 1700 either......my 1500 was a different story tho.
