Yeah... I'm thinking the tank is a bit on the small side too. Factory says 1.4 gal... which appears about right. Think I'll go with it for now and see what kind of range I can get out of it. A larger tank might not fit with the plastics.

Thanks culcune for the tip about sprockets. I want to see how the 15/46 goes... then I'll try a 17 front sprocket (17/46). The rear sprocket is a 4 square bolt pattern... didn't measure it yet.

I agree wilser... I haven't seen any pictures of this early a GY variant with a counter-bal 163FML either. I was very surprised when I saw this... and happy!

And thanks wilser for the tips about speedo lube and isolating plastics vibes. I'll be doing those both. And I can see how the battery box hanging way back there could be a weak point. I considered seeing if I could move it into the airbox and using a pod filter. Have to scope that out some more.

Cheers!
