In typical Buell fashion, the throttle has overly strong return springs. I can say I never noticed while working through fun roads, but wow. Ride by wire would have been super cool, but for now I think I'll figure out something a little more low-tech.
I also thought I had a problem with the idle hanging at about 2K. Seems like I figured it out. The clutch is really heavy (I might put in the later, lighter clutch springs), and seems to engage at the very end of lever travel (If it was a cable, I'd adjust it
) Waiting at a light in gear, I use 2 fingers to hold the clutch while the others are between it and the grip. That's enough pull that it doesn't drag at all, but not quite enough to trigger the clutch switch. If i move my fingers and pull the lever with my whole hand, the idle drops right down. Since using my hand that way feels weird, I'm going to extend the switch slightly somehow.
Thanks for reading my diary

Cooter , Very good write up !!! very accurate SX review. Thanks for sharing. Once you go with the 43 T you can get by with half way through the intersection at about 10-12 mph and your front tire will last twice as long
, I do like the lighter clutch springs with no noticeable slipping. Once you clean off The EBR bike lube and I do mean bike lube, I have been using Motorex chain lube it's not as messy.

I was curious about adding power above the factory level and reducing clutch grip at the same time? I guess it's a great excuse to set it all up and then dyno test it
