Couldn't see much, but it looked like you went up to at least third on the stand...so no more limp-*** gears? Awesome Jared. Seriously, from now on you are JaredAwesome, man of mechanical and motorcycle riding awesomeness...

But yea the vid quality kinda sucks... using my regular digi cam, and there's not much light. But just to show that it works! I ran it 1st-6th on the stand, though after 3rd you can't really hear it when it shifts. But it did.... all 6 nice and smooth, up and down
I just got done adjusting the CCT, all I have left is to reinstall the airbox, intake stacks, and air filter, bleed out the coolant, and put the tank and fairings back on and she's ready for a ride! I think I'm gonna do that tomorrow though... I'm freakin WIPED! And my knees are f00king KILLING ME!!! [:@]

RE: Well I guess I have my work cut out for me this weekend
Well I just got back from my roadtest a little bit ago. Did about 30 miles, and all I can say is.....
OMFG!!! [:-][:-] I don't think my bike has EVER shifted this smooth before!! Seriously, it shifts like freakin butter, and much faster too! I don't even remember it shifting this good when it was brand new, unless I just don't remember... who knows, lol. 3rd gear is rock solid now.... no more jumping out whatsoever, and it shifts into gear smooth as glass. I guess the wear on the shift forks made for some excessive clearance, causing the longer throw in the shifts. I think I fell in love with my bike all over again... she feels like brand new!! [sm=Awwww.gif]
Everything else was good too.... nice and smooth and quiet, no leaks, no vibrations, no rattles or other weird noises, stayed at a nice 175 degrees. My grip heaters aren't working right but they were giving me issues before... gotta look into those. I guess she's ready for another roadtrip this next weekend
