3200 Mile Update************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************!!!
The Good:
- Just checked the valves and they are still in spec after 3k miles of hard use.
- The SafariTank rocks. It is well worth the money and is 300% better made and higher quality than the IMS POS.
- The bike is running strong.....now that I have eliminated the PC-V + Autotune and gone to the basic Husky Power-Up mode. My Power (seat of the pants) and MPG have improved since I eliminated the PC-V and most important the hot starting issue has been completely solved.
- Still love how easy it is to work on/service the bike
The Bad:
- I could never get the PC-V + Autotune to work properly. It would do fine for a bit then start going crazy and have to be reset. (If anyone wants a good deal on a used PC-V + Autotune, shoot me a PM)
- The bike still seems to be running hot. I installed an LED light that lets me know when the fan on and it seems that even in cooler temps 60F-70F the fan is on quite a bit. I posted here inquiring what the operating temps of the TE510 should be and at what temps the fan should come on and off, but it seems no one knows. The next step is to install a TTO Temperature meter to keep an eye on temperatures and see if the engine is running hot or if the fan relay is set kind of low. If that does not work I'm looking at a set of double row 40mm radiators that claims to increase cooling capacity by 40%.
- The stock rear sprocket (aluminum) and chain did not last long at all. They have been replaced with a steel sprocket (T-46) and a DID VM X-ring chain.
- The vibes are still pretty bad. After along day of riding I feel a lot of forearm pump. have installed a set of Vibranators in the handle bars and have noticed a bit of difference, but the verdict is still out on whether they are worth the price.
- Hate the airbox, it is too open on the bottom and tends to suck in water during deep H2O crossings and get the filter wet.
- The stock Yuaza battery sucks. Whenever I start the bike it seems like it spins over kind of slow. It is definitely lacking a bit of pep. I have a Shorai on order and hope this will improve the starting.
