I've never had a bike where I looked at the alternator and had oil on that side, but maybe this bike is different. I don't see a seal on the main shaft bearing so oil could certainly get into that area - and if it gets in there must be a drain passage back to the sump at the bottom somewhere...

By 'flywheel' you mean the alternator side? Yeah, you're going to want to drain that...

Have you ever ridden a large-ish single before? They aren't terribly smooth until they get some revs in them. Having said that I wouldn't say anything out it is 'rough'. Anyone in Vermont that can swap bikes with our new friend?

That is actually an incredible price. I made my own since I have a lathe but with material, time and the stainless bolt all electroplated I could not do that for $30.

that sounds like your ABS module is malfunctioning

No, that is what I'm saying. Up top in open loop you are fine. The powertronic actually removes fuel over 6k rpm. But below that it is adding it, quite a bit in the exhaust map. You can avoid running lean as long as you have a FuelX lite and stick with moderate throttle below 6k.

The FuelX only corrects closed loop operation - light to moderate throttle and loads. As soon as you whack the throttle open you go right back to the stock tables that are overly lean for a stock exhaust. I would not run an exhaust without both (although I think a lot of people do). The...

Installed Powertronic ECU and the stage2 DNA filter kit. Used Powertronic's 'exhaust' downloadable map to run it. They did a nice job with the tune file, I made a small sleeve extension to put just upstream of the muffler so that I could run a wideband O2 meter. A little ghetto looking but it...

Only Harley's use a 1" bar as far as I know. You want grips for 3/4".

As much as a pain as it might be, I would uninstalled the fuelx and see if any of your problems remain. The clutch thing certainly doesn't sound like something a piggyback could screw up.

the chain is the cheapest part of these bikes and that is saying something. first thing I did was swap out sprockets and put a real chain on it.

Did you read the previous post? I can't recommend running them both together enough. Profound difference.

It was trial and error and several hours of work. So no, sorry. Pics of what I had to do are in my build thread https://hqvadventure.com/forum/threads/so-im-doing-a-thing.1235/

I just verified this, in gear no start with the side stand down

You can start in gear with the clutch pulled, you can start in neutral with the sidestand down. I don't think you can start in gear with the sidestand down even if you have the clutch pulled in. This is from memory one day when I had a WTF moment. Another way to say this is I believe the...

I wish I saw this sooner. I was going to move to the Nitron but I hate that baby blue, I had no idea you could get it in a dark spring. That is getting ordered this weekend.

Surely this is covered in both the owner's manual and google.

Ah, it is a translate issue. Blasters must be your way of saying handguards? I thought it was a joke, like Blasters from 'Star Wars'. Pew pew pew. Definitely no blasters for me then, my bike will never see rain let alone dirt.

You either have incredibly long arms or you enjoy a little pain. The vit bars are so low stock and then you went even lower!

I didn't want to write that and insult you, but I think the same thing. I've dropped new batteries in before and the posts were on different sides from OEM and accidentally connected it wrong. Easy to blow more than just one fuse. In my case it was the fuse for the injector pulsers.
