Went out and put a few more miles on the Lo today. The bike only has about 70 miles on it so far. It's hard to get into neutral right now with the engine running. It's not too hard when the engines off. I'm guessing this is due to the transmission needing to break in. I was wondering if any of you guys remember how long it took before the bike would go into neutral easily while the engine is running. Also if anybody knows which wires from the headlight I need to tap into to get my flash2pass garage door opener working that would be great.

Can't remember how long it was, probably 1,000 miles or so when it finally felt smooth and where I wasn't really thinking about it. About the flash2pass thing, can't help you with that. Good luck though, and glad you were able to get it out today. I would've liked to, but never had the chance. Hopefully it won't rain here tomorrow and I could ride it to work. Haven't been on mine in a few weeks due to being really sick.....it sucks.

Though I would post this here as well since I have been talking about it forever lol. I need to push em a little bit more forward but I love the feel
Looks sick!

Always wanted apes, but figured they would be tiring/fatiguing if you're on the bike all day (4+hrs).

Thoughts?

Some where around 700 miles my bike was much easier to get in to neutral. It just take some breaking in. To help with the harsh clunk going into first gear on a cold bike hold the clutch in for about 30 sec then down shift.

Stage 1 is where it all begins.

Gears on the Lo bud...no regrets indeed.
