A really weird rattle that seemed to happen on decel has stopped and the black splatter that was showing up around the end of my muffler after each ride has stopped too. It's running great. MPG sucks though. I'm figuring about 53 MPG. Thats about what my injected 1100 guzzi was getting. Go figure.
In general, weight has nothing to do with top speed. weight affects acceleration. Drag coeffecient affects top speed.
