[QUOTE="BkrK12, post: 731351, member: 2701"] Fred, Took the expedient of completely removing the gas tank so I could see what was going on (as I then realized you had done - based on your pictures). I was able to figure out paths that I could thread a screw driver down to get at the screws. I was also able to figure out that you can't use a phillips head, which is what I tried yesterday. Put the tank back on and hooked it up and was able to get through the whole procedure, although the Gen2 is still a pain in the neck to get to the screws. Only got a short ride, but the engine really seems to rev much smoother. Can't tell about vibes yet - need some fifth gear/4000rpm time to do that. It also seems to come up off idle much more smoothly. I would say, if you're going to do a TBS, you might as well do it this way. I think the results are superior and, after you've done it a few times and gotten use to the procedure, it'll probably only take 10 minutes longer. Thanks for writing this up. Dan P.S. I bet having the PAIR system in place will make it a much bigger PIA. P.P.S. His name is Wilson and he's 11 months old. [/QUOTE]
