I spent today doing the remaining bolt torquing, especially everything needing a sparing drop of red thread locker.
I got just about everything touched now. The only things I have not touch are few bolts inaccessible to the digital torque adapter AND when putting on wrenches were "bloody tight" from the factory.
I also did not touch the engine mount bolts. They have red ink witness marks on them so I will just watch them as part of my pre-ride routine.
Everything is now just about done:
- Final Adjustments to Mirrors for maximum horizontal extension.
- Final Adjustments to Clutch lever, positioning and slack. I now have the friction zone dialed in exactly half in/half out of the clutch lever pull exactly where I want it.
- Final Adjustments to the Front Brake Hand Lever
- Final Adjustments to the Rear Brake Foot Lever
- Final Adjustements to the Idle Speed
- Final Adjustements to the Air Pilot Screw used by the Idle/Low Speed Jet.
Still to be done:
- Install replacement side plastic to address shipping damage.
- Install reaplacement side plastic sticker to address shipping damage.
- Tidy rear lights wiring under the rear wheel guard.
- Adjust (or not, new China chain will stretch a lot in the beginning) the Chain Tension.
- Ride the bike and do suspension adjustements (waiting on insurance).
- Get State Inspection (waiting on insurance).
- Get bike registered and plated (waiting on insurance).
- Peel the stickers covers and ride!
Future to be done:
- Remove Tires
- Remove Rim Locks
- Install Rim Lock Caps
- Reinstall Tires
- Balance Front & Rear Tires
- Install New Sprocket
- Install New Chain
Future orders (waiting on start of AliExpress Black Friday sale):
- Inductive Hour Meter
- Cable Lubrication Tool
Putting her to bed for now. Will continue through the ever dwindling todo list another day.
Here I have the charger and battery tender on which is a end of day routine. After running the engine I notice that the charger displays the battery voltage and its overchared/high charged. The tender will typically bring down the 14+ volts down to 13.6 for float / tender in Winter mode and keep it there. This should get me double the life out of the batteries.
I have not looked up getting a replacement battery yet. Keeping the battery hooked up to the charger it has always had excellent condition and cold cranking ability.
