Thanks for the info. Would you happen to have a pic of the Grom cluster you're using? I'd be interested to see what it looks like on the bike.

I see. Well, I'll be darned. I thought even a small mismatch in bores would have been a problem.

Learn something new every day, I guess!

I bought a couple of rounds of the Maxima kit (cleaner, MPPL, chain wax), and went through the cleaner and MPPL much faster than the wax. When the cleaner and MPPL were gone, I switched to Simple...

I have found my Apollo DB36 to be moderately easy to start, but it's very cold-blooded-- it needs to warm up fully before it will run right.

I generally start it with full choke (i.e., lever all...
