By aligning more easily, I of course meant aligning the part in the swingarm, not aligning the marks on the adjuster. Sorry for any confusion. ;)

Anyone find any, have used any? Only one I've found is by Dimotiv, and is simply a machined block of aluminum which replaces the oem part. OEM appears to be steel, but the aluminum is probably thick enough that it wouldn't be an issue, I think. Just, aside from tighter tolerances and aligning...

My first bar disappears after the first bend in the road...but then I accelerate pretty aggressively (=fuel bob giving inaccurate readings). Fuelly says my MPG is improving though, so either I'm learning my bike, or the new oil and valve clearances are breaking in nicely. ;)

Fold your leg like you're about to do a side kick, then throw it over like you mean it! Or, just stand on the peg. Shouldn't cause any harm.

I notice the dirt despite the grey, but then I'm a bit OCD. May eventually paint mine, but probably not green.

Did that the other day, a nice relaxing ride. Not as far, though. Today I looked at the bike and noticed some oil on the right side of the rear wheel. Everything else clean, even the brake disc (seemed too viscus for brake fluid anyway). Weird...

It's not too bad with stock, really. Though being a pretty small rider, I guess I can get away with more. Wouldn't want to ride all day like that, of course.

Ask me how I know. ;)

Riding at 80 is pretty cool, specially when you duck under the windscreen and all you hear is the motor purring and a bit of wind on your back. I like to imagine that's what it sounds like with a bigger windscreen. lol

Yeah, I've rubbed my boots and a foot peg once each going around a corner, and both times I was probably going faster than I should around a corner (20-30 around a sharp 90-deg and the other around a roundabout). Still have about an inch of unworn tire on the rear, both sides.

If it's not a huge wire you could just feed it in with the other wire harnesses. I'm not sure if the 750x is the same, but I could shine a flashlight into the battery compartment and see where the wires went in from the underside of the bike (either side). Of course, it's probably better to take...

Pretty much how I felt going around a turn a bit fast when I realized there was gravel across the road. Thankfully it wasn't much, and the front and rear tires both only slid a bit through the turn, at about the same rate.

The oem ncx clutch cable is $22 (+shipping/tax) at chaparral-racing.com, dunno if it's in stock (doesn't say on the listing or in the shopping cart), might should call before ordering. Edit: $22 + $7 shipping from parts fish on amazon. Edit2: $16.31 on partzilla, $8 shipping (+- depending on...

He probably has email notifications active for PMs, but if he doesn't respond, go through the dealer.

Some parts of a dct clutch may wear faster due to the hard shifts, but I'm sure they considered that in the design.
