Holy thread resurrection Batman!

Nice to hear you got it running properly, though.

Yeah, it hibernated from November to April and I'm not home very much so projects tend to take a lot longer to complete, especially with four project bikes.

You said you are running 10w40 oil.  I hope that is not the energy conserving type.  It will make a clutch slip.

Hey, I'm new here. What type of oil is best? And I want my 750 to compete with modern literbikes, I have $200 to spend. What should I do?

Hmm, installing the whole system looks complicated. If I just slap on the stickers, will that work?

What do you mean, 'system'? The installation is the stickers.
