[QUOTE="ultrachrome, post: 117850, member: 16592"] Spokes! Mine loosened up substantially after the first ride. Also check the wheel lock (or whatever that bolt is called that keeps the tire from slipping), mine was loose. Chafe tape on the frame rails as the nickel plating can wear off fast. I also heard to use it on the subframe where the seat contacts it. After your first ride, it should be obvious when you remove the seat. If you got your bike in a crate, go a head and change your oil just to make sure. The manual points to the wrong drain plug. It's the one farthest to the back. Order a new idle adjustment screw from Carb Parts Warehouse. The stock plastic one is prone to breakage and CPW sells a metal replacement. The stock headlight has two bulbs in it. One is not hooked up and can fall out (mine did). I have an XC200 and it runs great on premium pump gas but I am still running pretty rich with a 180 main. As for the tank, there is some wiring that is squeezed between the frame rail and the tank that makes removing the tank kind of a pain. Rerouting the cables under the frame rail with some zip ties fixed the problem and might help with the pipe bracket problem. [/QUOTE]
