Well, after thrashing to dog crap out of the TT yesterday on a run down to Colorado Springs, a little over 200 km round tip, and with nearly 600 km on the clock total, I decided to do the first valve adjustment. Way easier than the RX-3. No cussing or scraped knuckles. The valves were tight, tight, tight. Adjusted to .07 mm, the loose end of spec as recommended in the manual.
I also found that my speedo is indicating about 10% slow when checking against a GPS speedo app. 57mph indicated, 63 mph actual per the gps as the top speed for the day. After the valve adjustment, I moved on to jetting. Put in a 102 jet vs the 108 trying to lean it out for elevation. I only got a chance to ride around the neighborhood a little but will give it a good test drive tomorrow on my commute and see how it goes. I bought a few jets so I'll continue to tweak if needed. I also had previously moved the needle clip one notch leaner last week. Rojo

The TT did fine except for the very gusty winds when leaving the Springs and the thunderstorm we passed thru. I was able to maintain 50 - 60 mph per GPS speedo app on all but the steeper hills and heavy winds. Still had stock jetting. Good ride overall. The seat is more comfortable than my KLR seat so A+.

Interesting that your speedo is indicating a LOWER speed than actual. Based on what I've read on here, it's usually the other way around with CB speedos.

My TT 250 was picked up by Road Runner Transport last Thursday and is now somewhere between CA and MN. Delivery estimate is this Thursday June 30th. It can't come quick enough after 4 months of waiting.

they normally on all motorcycles read either a tiny bit fast, or a lot fast, for liability reasons. if something bad happens and the owner can make a claim that they were going faster than the vehicle indicated then there is a potential law suit.

My speedo seems to be reading a little lower than actual speed as well. Finally got some miles in this weekend on the TT, however my SD card for my mobius action cam just happened to bite the bullet so was not able to do any pics or vids yet :(
Motor is really starting to loosen up after only 70KM, these definitely need a good break in period, already getting more power and smoothness every time I ride. Put some cheap Acerbis brush guards on and moved the shift lever up so I can actually fit my boots under the lever (made a world of difference with shifting)

It arrived!!!
...and as I stated a couple pages ago, we weren't home! I got my neighbor Ron to sit and wait for the truck while we drove to Nevada that morning. He said all went well with the delivery with the exception of some bats that got into the house that freaked him out while he was watching TV and waiting.
When we got home Sunday morning, I insisted that he get a pic with the crate, since he was the one who received it. He was concerned that I'd post a pic on the internet of him in his grubby work clothes since he was working his property. I told him not to worry, I'd never do that. Hee hee hee... Out of the crate, right onto the rack. I flipped the shark fin right away. Then, I started going over and adjusting everything. Check tire pressures. Cables, etc... The chain was loose and the rear wheel needed aligning. Expected. There was a huge glob of grease on the swingarm bolt. I'm hoping this is a sign of grease inside. I tightened all the motor mounts and checked every fastener I ran across. Also, I dropped off the headlight, rerouted what was needed. Then, I pulled out the speedo cable, cleaned and lubed it. As someone else suggested, I hit the rotors with cleaner and wiped them spotless before the first ride and bedding them in. Brakes seem just fine to me now. After assembly, I hit it with a coat of wax, some Armor All and out for the first putt. As everyone here, the bike fired up immediately. I also installed the first mods. The Acerbus Uniko light duty hand guards and the bar pad. I have these little hand guards on everything. If you're into hitting oak trees, boulders or flopping off of cliffs, these are not for you. If you want some shrub, brush, branch and bug-at-speed protection, they work great, mount easily and are cheap. Got about 30 miles on it now and it's already loosening up, finding neutral and everything is going well. It even seems jetted ok for 3000 feet...but time will tell once the engine mods start after break-in. I can honestly say that between the 4 other CG motors I've had, this balance shaft motor is noticeably smoother, especially out-of-crate. Most importantly, Mrs. 2LZ enjoyed her first ride and is looking forward to many miles and smiles.
