Ebinz, download the manual - it makes what the guys are saying sooooo much easier to understand.

ALSO you will find the 2 x 7mm head little bolts holding your tank on in front - I have changed mine to 6mm Alan heads - much easier to get in and out that way......also less chance of scratching your tank.....
These bikes DON"T like traffic, and at continual low revs the battery doesn't charge, and with your fan kicking in and out, you're probably low on battery power. so maybe an Optimate charger or some kind of battery helper overnight would be good, too......

 

Update:

-Changed the oil, and either the incredible hulk tightened the oil filter or it tightened over time & heat. Sadly I didnt have an oil filter wrench, but since I knew the old oil filter was trash I found my handy dandy pipe wrench. Oil Used - Honda GN4 10-40w

-New fuel filter.

-Air filter.... I guess I should of checked the filter before I ran out and bought one. Today I bought a UNI Foam Air Filter. got home, opened up the air box, and whats sitting there... a nice K&N Air filter, which I figure the K&N is a way better product. So time to make a return and buy a K&N recharging kit...



Also while under the tank found two vacuum lines(?) unplugged. I am going to attach a couple pics. I believe I located the disconnected hoses and hooked them back up. Now doing so the bike seem the have trouble starting up after engine has warmed up. I been trying to do some research oh the disconnected hoses, any info on what and why they might be unplugged? thanks all.. all been great help..

 

btw, bike is finally idling pretty smooth. more soon...
