    Still at it. Going to get as much done as I can today and then just wait for the axle and filters for clean and test ride.

    So it's all back together now. Rode it around Nashville for a few days, then down to Atlanta for work.

    Only a few things seem a little off. It seems to drag and sputter from 6 to 7.5k rpm. Also, that is when the vibration starts, and continues what seems like the rest of the powerband. That is all besides some suspension tweaking that needs to be done. It likes to wallow to a stop, and sometimes fishtail/plow a little in the corners. Do new forks require a wear-in period? Probably just time for new tires.

    I normally do too. I just like to womp on it from time to time. Maybe it's because I haven't taken her on a track yet, maybe it's because I'm reckless, or maybe because it's just fun. Also, if I didn't how would I ever know it is doing this, possibly creating a surprise I don't want.
