I am a happy camper right now. A few minutes after getting the call from The Dyno God I stopped what I was doing and took advantage of a nearly 70 degree day for an hour and a half. Who cares if there were 30 mph winds gusting to 50, clouds so low they'd wash the top of your helmet and humidity so high that soup was on order atmospherically. It was a good day to really get a feel for the changes.
Weather and road conditions had only allowed a couple of short hops before. Enough to know there was nothing catastrophically wrong and that the bike was rideable. But just surface streets and 10-12 miles of general putting around.
Not today.
A quick 10 miles on immediately adjacent rural rides then a stop to eyeball everything once more. No runs, drips or errors anywhere. Then another 70 miles running it out.
Tranny works sooooo smooth. The new shift drum with the new gear kit losing the continual fall off after hitting first makes the two bikes the same so that's a convenient though unforeseen change. It finds neutral like it was actually intended to be easy to do so! And the extra gear, even for where the torque curve is now pre-tuned, is going to match up nicely. The extra gear for highway speeds is going to great. 3200+ at just under 75 was ok. But it's going to be very nice doing that hour after hour after hour now at 2750-2800 instead. Much more comfortable ride.
Engine sounds and feels fine. Nice quiet valve train. A very nice but quiet normal gear drive noise. To my ears that's an improvement also. And even pre-tune it runs well. Couple of slightly uneven spots that will go away with the tune. But all told the bike and I are very happy.
It's cooled enough from its run now I'm going to step back out and drain the service fluids. Once refilled she'll be ready for next few thousand miles.
