Behind the sprocket cover is the gear position sensor, it shows your gear based off of where the metal nub behind the sensor is riding on the sensor itself.

Just returned from my first ride. Everything is stock. I'm impressed!

During assembly I removed the carb, pulled the plug off the low speed jet, found it to be 3/4 turns out. 120 main, 40 pilot, it started instantly and runs fantastic at 0-1500 ft, 70 degrees. That surprised me. As did the magnet in the drain plug, the need to remove the upper engine mount to remove the intake valve cover and battery removal to get at the air filter.

My left peg mount was welded on incorrectly resulting in the peg angled back a bit. A grinder took care of that.

During assembly I noticed the front wheel was out of round.

I rode a small combination of paved, gravel and single track today, only 40 miles, but enough to get an initial impression of the suspension and handling. She's a keeper for sure.

Just got done taking my Templar for a short test ride around the neighborhood. The bike performed wonderfully even with the stock jetting, will still fatten it up a bit if my jet kit ever gets here. The only issue it had was a non functioning speedometer/odometer, went back thru all the connections and found nothing out of sorts. All the other functions of the display work fine (tach, shift indicator, voltmeter, etc.). I unplugged the wheel sensor and using a multi meter I looked for any kind of signal when I spun the front wheel and got nothing. Guess I have a dead speed sensor? Sent an email off to Zora at PSM, hope they come through on sending me the parts so I can get the speedometer working. Kinda need a working speedometer to pass inspection so I can get my registration.
