[QUOTE="drmjf86, post: 1141768, member: 18583"] Dohhh! The problem was not enough gas. This was the 1st time I'd ever completely drained the tank and I had no idea how much was necessary to feed the fuel pump. Rocking the bike side to side resulted in a significant "swishing" sound which made me think there was probably enough. I've previously run the tank on some of my other bikes to what I thought was "dry" with much less "swishing". Took it for a test run and the CC seemed to work fine. My only other bike with CC is a Royal Star Venture which I haven't ridden for some time and on which I didn't use the CC much so I'm not sure if the AVCC is as smooth/responsive as the factory CC on the RSV. Should I expect it to be? It certainly doesn't compare to CC on my cars. Before I buttoned the bike back up I was tempted to remove 1 more bead from the chain as it seemed there would still be a little slack with just 6 beads instead of the oft recommended 7, but then I saw the "warning" in the AVCC installation manual to leave at least 7 beads to prevent possible "lock-up." That across-the-board recommendation didn't seem to make sense to me as one would think that different vehicles might allow the actuator cable end to be closer or farther from the throttle tab. Has anyone ever gone to 6 beads? Any problems with doing so?
