Just a few questions:
1. Is it true that they somehow cut back on some of the vibration on the 00 models? If so how did they do this? The vibration doesn't really bother me but is it possibly a sign of worn engine mounts or crank bearings or do they all vibrate a little more than most?
2. When I put my bike on the kickstand overnight oil is seeping out of the counter shaft seal but not when it's on the stand. Is this something I should be concerned about? How involved is it to change this seal?
3. The bike is running great and the plug appears to be jetted properly but the air screw is almost all the way in. It needs to be there for it to idle correctly. The only reason I'm asking is because I've heard these things a little hard to jet. Do you think a little bigger pilot jet would help? It idles pretty good now, it may want to "race" a little when I'm idleing down a hill or something. What pilot jets are you guys running? Do you have your air screws 1 1/2 turns out?
Other than these little things I'm loving the bike.
Thanks,
