You got to feel sorry for them.

Corporate sets them up to fail.

Once they get up to speed its off to better locale!

The GU has a larger step than the cT as there is more room for it. That said, the GU comes with stuff the cT did not (spare wheel). So its a coin flip on getting in, the strep, higher, costs etc. I paid as much for the cT as I would have a GU, but I went with TC color, fairing, spare, rack with it o...

I guess I am more blunt.

I don't like you or your attitude, on your way Bub.

Engine reportedly rode hard and put away wet and no work done on it. Repairs predicted in the future.

Clearly from the posts, its a really hard engine to do crank and main bearing repairs on.

Come to AK, temps are not a problem (mostly)

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the 2015 or so trany was the same with some miner changes to deal with issues that showed up on some but not all?

You can also use a Speedi Sleeve on those with surface problems as long as the issues are narrow focus like to many years of lip seal wearing it.

Make sure your fuel is clean. You did not say what parts you replaced. Floats can get fuel in them and not float right level. Needle valve can be bad The needle valve seat can be bad. Adjustment can get off. If you replaced the floats, needle valves and seat then that is the issue (possible on fuel ...

Yea

I would express it as a risk factor approach. The 2017 has had a lot of mods and has not been through a break in period. Basically its been rebuild with no miles. So who did the engine, trany and FD rebuild and who did the FI change? I would be happier with a right that had 5k on it than one that ha...

Now that is a sincere apology. Straight up , no spin. Well done

I have the Bitibo on my 2019 cT. It has enough adjustment to satisfy me (one click down from max). Clearly its not junk. Have had it off road a bit in ruts (no deep sloppy mud of course) and no issues. Of course I have the Physique of Charles Atlas, so maybe I don't notice? Not all are so endowed. :...

Picture started showing up, weird.

Man, that is an ugly fairing.

Sweet and welcome. Rear break noise seems to be common, so far I have not tried to track it down. This site had the best advice - if the cap spins, turn the key the other way, remove cap and never lock it again. I wanted to be sure I could open it when I picked mine up, could not, dealer did, I neve...

My experience/background goes with a bit looser. I adjusted the exhaust valves more to .005 to . 006, I gained right around 100 rpm idle. Heindl in their adjustment video also go with a tad looser. I go with looser. I like to look at the closest equivalent I can find, that was the R80GS. Initial was...
