Finishing up the paper work for my bike. Already buying parts for it and don't even have possession of it yet.

I have some lowered pegs, programmable ECM, Bought a valve shim kit, and finally some stands.

I'm in Wa and the bike is in Az.
Lead time to get it shipped is around 2 weeks.
I'm debating driving down and picking it up myself or.....
Fly down and ride back. Roadtrip sounds fun. Never did anything this long on a bike before.
I know I would have to do an oil change.
What about the constant engine speed? That is discouraged according to the manual.
How feasible is it to get a new bike and do a 1300 mile trip first thing?

Had it delivered and good thing I did. I did ask them to go over the bike.

Bike showed up, wouldnt start good thing too. Not such what oil was in there and it was 32 degrees.
Changed oil first thing. It wasnt checked at all by the dealer. Bike has an AGM battery. the original bettery is gone. I was able to jump charge the bettery enough for it to start the bike. Took the battery out and hooked it up to a running vehicle to chargBike only had 29 miles so I think I may have driven it rougher then the first 29 miles. Gas was low enough to trip the fuel light when on the side stand. EBR's own original gas? lol

Added case sliders, not sure if I should add the R&G aero sliders. Read about frame damage by those. I also have axle sliders, and need to order some CRG arrow mirrors. Stock right one would hold adjustment not sure how to tighten but the arrow mirrors look better anyways.

I have the IDS programmable ECM wanted to do the secondary delete but I'll wait till after breakin. However I wanted to try to disable the throttle solenoid and leave the secondary muffler on. Anyone know how to disable the intake solenoid using the IDS software?

got some other plans. waiting for the winter shutdown. Today should be getting a heated liner so I can squeeze out a little more riding out.

Congrats on the new bike! You'll love it:)

IMHO You might as well do the secondary delete now (with the IDS "tips" program). My feeling is that they run so lean from the factory, a little more fuel will do them good, especially at break-in. I would also put some Zinc additive in the oil now. You want it to wear, especially the rings, that's why it's called break-in. New machining is amazing, but new oils are just too good and won't allow proper wear. No red-line, no constant engine speed, no long idling, no high loads when cold. Party;)

Part #Y0248.1am. Or just remove (or unplug) the solenoid and put a 120 Ohm 1/4w resistor across the terminals of a deutch DT06-2S-P006 connector to disable the check engine light. Your IDS ECM should have it disabled already.

Don't forget a 43 tooth sprocket from JD sprockets (JTR1490.43), and a (4-114 iirc) Dynojet quick shifter switch. Both are unbelievably good mods.

Thanks
Going to have to play with PCM. Not even sure how to change the sprocket teeth yet or see if solenoid is disabled that way I'll just remove it.
I can smell oil burning. It appears to be coming from the rear header under the heat shield.

Can you use stock length chain? Or go up 2 links? Sorry first chain driven bike.

Welcome let the fun begun, With a 43 t stock chain fits fine.

The OE chain is an "endless" chain. No master link.
You can go up to a 44t sprocket on a stock length chain.

Thanks. I’ll aim for the 43t however I am going for the black lightning look. Only
thing my bike is grey. Gonna get some things powder coated. I have to look at an oil leak as I can smell oil burning and see a little smoke coming from the rear heat shield.

Endless chain means I’ll need a chain breaker correct? Time to buy some chain tools.

Yes to breaking the chain. Motion Pro PBR tool works well, air die grinder works to get it ground down.

I have a spare 43T if you want it, just pay postage. Only has 200 miles on it. Vortex 821-43
I had it with the stock ECU and it read 1,2,3,4,4,5 on the gear indicator. So I bought a 44T and the secondary delete ECM for the 44T.

SOLD, EBRRider needed it.

WTF? Didn't even get a chane to get it. lol No prob. That's for the offer. Yea EBRRider needed it lol.
How is the 44T? noticeable from the 43T? I do have the IDS ecm. Was waiting to break it in first, but was suggested not to worry.

Sorry , If you are going for the BL it has a 44th on it and its black, Here ia a black one and its made with steel good price. IMO I wouldnt wait for the break in to put a IDS tune on it ,the sooner the better ,its set up very lean now, a tune with richen it up and better timing the way it should be. https://www.amazon.com/JT-Sprockets-JTR486-44-Steel-Sprocket/dp/B000GS8PTE/ref=sr_1_2?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1543413946&sr=8-2&keywords=jt+sprocket+44+tooth

Sorry, it just sorta happened that way. But I thought you might want a black one for the Lightening look. Mine was silver. They have actually come down in price, they were $35-$45 couple years ago and now $20-$30. Both the 43T and 44T are better than the 41T (hated it in parking lots and around town) If I were to do it again, I might try the 46, but it would probably be a wheelie machine. My front end comes up easily with the 44T, but manageable.

I am going for the BL look minus it actually being black. Just installed the ecm yesterday which means now I need to make some tips up. Gonna drop the engine to remove the rear heat shield. Thinking I might as well add the 43T mainly as I don't want to have to swap out the chain yet. Bike doesn't even have 150 miles on it.

I am trying to decide if I should get the parts powder coated or anodized. Also not sure which one between those two will hold up on the heat shield.

Man that is a lot of work for the heat shield, just mask off and pull the screw and paint with a good heat paint .Bam done.2083

I painted my 3 heat shields with high heat paint in 2015 and they still looks great, like it was just done.

I did the same. BBQ paint and a good mask job. Still looks great 7000 miles later:)

Need to figure how to change my title. Obviously since the bike is home. Some ADmin magic? Anyways, still tearing into the bike. Just for a heat shield.........:nut:

Da truth...During break-in, I noticed/smelled a leak. Drips on top the muffler where the header pipes connect. As of now I found a threaded plug that may be the cause.
Going to try to upload some visual stimuli...

1st. the oil. Right by the rear cylinder.
2nd. gunk in the cooling system
3rd Seems to be leaking from here. Might be an oil galley plug. Dont see it in the engine break down. Its seems to be seeping from the bottom and getting on the coolant hoses.
4th As she sits. Less then 150 miles. Maybe less then 130.

More then likely its an oil galley plug.

My daughter got me that 44T Sprocket. Oh yea!! Stock chain is GTG on a 44T? Or should I step up to a 118 link?

Color swap...if White Lightning wasn't taken......

Newer 2 piece tails have this stiffening plate. Used a paint marker to transfer rivet locations. I bought the trim molding between the pieces as well as the center brace. I got the plastic push pin connectors locally, and ordered the M6 speednuts online.

Debating on what badges to put on.
