Sorry I didn't take any more assembly photos but I was on a roll. Not much to it. Install front wheel, handle bars, controls,check fasteners,air tires, etc.

Installed the battery this morning and fired her up. Started right up.


Warmed her up and changed the oil. Didn't have the right filter.Thanks FastDoc for the right number.

Rode her down to the local gas station and filled her up. Had put in about a gallon at home and then 1.8 gallons at the gas station.


Running good do I decided to ride up to Deal's Gap (aka The Dragon). Breaking her in by the book so kept it under 5k RPM. Hard to do.

Took a break at a dam.


Deal's Gap.


Tree of Shame. Hope I don't add any Qlink parts.

Put about 200km on her and she purrs like a kitten. I believe this bike is Japanese quality. I'm impressed with it. Gonna be had to stay within the break in routine.

She needs at least another tooth on the front sprocket and maybe some off the back sprocket. I'll do the 16 front first.


Put a couple of aluminum straps on the front forks to make it easier to tie down in the trailer.
