[QUOTE="Stringer, post: 178223, member: 2086"] Well I checked coolant level earlier as I was running it, and it looked a tad more full. Maybe because it was running the first time, and not the second? I am able to safely check the coolant after it's been running awhile. I am guessing because of the quality of coolant (evans waterless), new rads that claim 40% more capacity, and the bike is running so rich is doesn't get very hot. Just a theory. Now that I have given it thought, I put in a slightly incorrect amount of oil. I had just finished getting the top end together, and manual stated after engine disassembly, use 0.63/qt (596cc's), otherwise use 0.58/qt (549cc's). I wasn't using my brain and now realize the manual was probably referring to bottom end disassembly which was not performed. Do you think this extra 47cc's of oil I put in was simply expelled through an overflow hose, or is this difference too small to matter entirely? I have had no problems giving it WOT over and over, I have been running it hard since One in awhile I can wheelie with it, but mostly not due to tons of hesitation. I peg the throttle often. It was smoking ALOT before I recently backed off the screw to 2.5 turns out. Many report best success with 1.5 turns out from what I've read. As far as smell I can't help there, I can hardly smell a thing :/ Smoke is white and seems like more an appropriate amount after going to 2.5 turns out, from two. [/QUOTE]
