    so that oil bolt thing that's up next to the coolant container has two clamp things on it.
    THat's not very descriptive, and I didn't take a picture of it.

    Anyway, hopefully you guys know what I talking about.

    The screw on the clamps is rubbing on the white plastic coolant container.
    Is it OK to turn them around?

    Yes Abby, easy job to turn the hose clamps around. Just unscrew them, flip them & screw them back on.

    Just unscrew it the whole way. Don't unscrew it and then pull the hose off to flip it :)

    awesome. thanks guys! :)
    you guys rock.

    What sorts of things are there like this clamp that everybody knows about that should be done? Who makes a list of these things?

    flip around this clamp thing
    replace the clamp on the clutch cable
    remove the weight and/or cut the rear licence plate mount
    do something for a skid plate so the oil (water?) hose doesn't get smooshed.
    ....

    what else should I do that i haven't?

    I think an appropriate title for the thread would be: " Things to do PRIOR to riding your new TR650(for any extended amount of time, or far out into the wild) "

    Coolant burp
    License plate mod
    Oil Clamp rotation
    Clutch Cable mod
    Rear mud flap seal mod
    Etc.....
