[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 208157, member: 3959"] Another update. 1st - No premix. Got the chain master link and the front swing-arm rubber chain guide I ordered from Motosport, and put the chain on today for the first time. Got it running, which didn't take as long as last time, but still had to kick it a bunch. And yes, I have learned to get it to TDC first. It is a requirement I guess, unless I want to join the huge right leg club. It reminds me of those old Harley guys kicking their bikes. Took it out for it's first ride since I got it...and wow, this thing is wicked powerful and fast. Way too much bike for me! Top end is still too noisy for me. I have heard that they are somewhat noisy, but I am wondering if I dont need to screw in the tensioner a bit more? I have a stethoscope and tried adjusting it a few days ago but didn't really see any improvement in noise, just improvement in the chain & cams staying where they should. If I can upload a GoPro video so y'all can hear it I will, but they are huge files so not sure If I could do it...I'll give it a shot though and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
