[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 186127, member: 2409"] I've got it all together now so I started it up and let is run until the thermostat opened and until the fan came on. It was only then that I noticed that the ticking from the left side had gone away. So now it is running smoothly and fairly quietly...not silent like a car but mechanically quieter than the 1100. :Egyptian: As I said yesterday we have a mild spell going on here. The streets around where I live are wet with slushy patches and lots of loose gravel. Anyway I took it for a short, cautious test ride. :moped: Bike ran fine. Couldn't really open it up so not sure about power increase over the 1100. I didn't wear ear plugs, which I normally do, and I noticed that it is noticeably quieter. :ok: Much less engine noise than the 1100. Remember when I was assembling the cases I had to take it apart again because it didn't shift right. Well the shifting is still not great. Shifting into 3rd has to be done with conviction or you get a false neutral. I think it might have something to do with the ratchet mechanism at the front of the tranny. You have to make sure that you allow the shifter to all the way back down in order to catch the next gear. Anyways it does shift into all gear up to 3rd (never went higher than that). Will ride it like that and hope that it improves. :beg: Brian [/QUOTE]
