Thank you for the information. I think I am going to look for a used OEM disk. Hopefully in better shape then mine.

Has anyone used an EBC disk (P/N: VMD2023LS &RS) to replace the factory part? My right disk is warped. I also have to do a caliper rebuild and...

2 years ago. I am just concerned it changed so quickly after my tests. I will resync and colortune again. See if that helps.

I went back and readjusted the clutch cable. I am still stalling out the bike when it has not warmed up and I pull the clutch in and try to stop....
Quick question, if you install a new factory clutch cable, throttle cable, etc. does it need to be lubricated before you install it?
Thanks Dave. I will readjust the clutch cable this weekend and give it a try.
OK. I will check the cable. I did relube the cable as part of the clutch rebuild. If the neutral switch is not working correctly would I still get...
Still tuning the bike but something else came up this week. I started the bike up in neutral, let it warm up, and took it for a spin around the...
Well, it looks like the carbs come back off and I go through the fuel float levels. I take it that I reset the mixtures screws back to 2-1/2 turns...

Another question, when you install the clutch pressure plate bolts do you use anti-seize compound? I keep reading how easy these bolts can be broken.

After a clutch rebuild is there a break in period mileage wise that you need to keep the RPM down below a certain level?
