 Bike is back at the house now. Rode well on the way home. Put 32 miles on the engine so far. After the initial break-in, I will report back... JohnT.

 700 Miles now, engine is running great, no problems whatsoever, this is the way it should have been to begin with.
Been riding her daily since I got her back, rain or shine, was going to wash her yesterday,(Sunday) until I learned it
was to rain today. She actually rides nice in the rain, although I do worry about some idiot running over me alittle more
when it rains, most west coast cage operators can't drive in the rain well,(I'm from the East Coast). Happy Camper so far.

John, that's great news, congrates 

 My 110 runs the best at 55 degree temp., she just likes the cool air cooling her down.

My 110's best performance is probably around 55 degrees, as well.  That amount to exactly 3 days a year in Arkansas...

 Engine now has 2500 miles on her. Changed oil at 1000 for the initial break-in, switched from Amsoil to Mobil 1 20-50 Synthetic, due to the fact that I got a good bulk rate price on the oil, through this forum. Checked oil level last night, oil still looks "clean", slightly darker than when I changed it, but still looks clean. The thing that really stood out though was the lack of oil usage. Oil level was right on the money and CLEAN.. What a departure from what I had before. I usually check the oil level at mid term, say 1250 miles after I change it and I have, in the past, had to add alittle oil to bring the level up at mid-term, and at that time the oil would be starting to look alittle "black". So, not only is it not burning the oil now, its also not COOKING the oil as well. Also, needless to say, the engine just runs fantastic. I might add in also, I think the engine seems to like the Mobil 1 alittle better as well. So do I...JohnT..
