Everything I ordered was either installed on the bike or secured in the crate and all I have to install is the windshield and mirrors. Then I'm going to go over the bike with a fine-toothed comb.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is the ignition key supposed to match the luggage? I got two sets of keys, one for the ignition & seat release and the other that fits the side and top boxes.
2. The tires need to be inflated. Is there a way to keep wrinkles out of the tubes when I fill it up? On my mtn bike, I dust new tubes with talc or clean dirt. I think I'll fully inflate, partially deflate and then fully inflate again.
3. Does anyone else hear the chain rub when moving the bike around? It's quiet for about half the travel but there's a scraping noise for the other half. Pretty sure it's on the chain side, but I'll check again in case it's the brake. The chain guard above the chain doesn't touch, but the chain does rest on a plastic guide on the swingarm. So maybe a little noise is normal.
Maybe related, I noticed the rear wheel isn't set to the same alignment marks on each side (though I know that may be normal too), so I'll have to check that.
Overall the bike looks awesome. I can't wait to ride it!

1. My ignition key also opens luggage and seat. The other keys only open luggage.
2. Your bikes came with flat tires? I use talc on mt tubes too.
3. My bike does not make any rubbing noises when I push it around the garage. I think it would be very unusual for the alignment marks not to be equal on both sides. Better call CSC about that.
