[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 1435284, member: 956"] Road it last Friday, good news is that even slow riding, low 80F temps, she didn't overheat. Sure, ran right to the top of normal operating zone, but nothing in the 'red' zone. Bad news is the tank isn't venting enough, causing pressure and carb flooding. And charging system declines to bad when things get hot. Nothing cubic $$$ can't take care of. Regarding oil consumption, my bud Gary reports he could smell it and yes, blue on decelerations. But not all the time? No blue after bike has been sitting cold, side or center stand. Ran heavy dose of RingFree for ~1.5 tanks. Haven't had time to pull all the plugs, but #1, which has been oil sooted in the past, came out scary clean and lean. Not sure why the lean, but there's no oil residue on the plug.
