[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1423306, member: 3828"] More stuff that occurred to me: Has a very bright, LED 3rd brake light and flasher module installed. This is a great safety feature. It is a high intensity LED lamp module designed for use on emergency vehicles. The flasher module is programmed to strobe the light 5 times, fast, when you hit the brakes, then go solid on. If you release the brake, even for a second, and reapply it repeats. When the valves were reshimmed at 75k miles, I sanded the shims to the best clearances rather than just settling for .05mm increments the Standard shim increments provide. This puts them on the open end of the spec. Since clearances always decrease over time this puts them in the best position possible to never need another adjustment. Cam Chain Tensioner was replaced prophylactically with an updated blue-dot version. Never had any cam chain noise, even before the replacement. Oil changes done religiously at 5k intervals with full synthetic oil. Initially used Rotella T 5w40 but later on switched to Mobil1 15w50. I got smoother shifting with the Mobil1. Never have had any real shifting problems or clutch issues. Would really like to see this go to a good home, which is why I wont let ScooterG put any of his boogers on this bike. He got to my 2014 before I even bought it! Drats... [/QUOTE]
