The shop in New York has one mod already and they are installing the second in the same model.

Is it possible to have a faulty push rod in which the symptom is a grabby clutch? As in you pop it in first hold in the clutch all the way (clutch cable is adjusted so that you get the most pull) and the clutch is grabbing, causing you to keep the rpm's high so it will not stall?

Wow someones grumpy, considering Harrperf builds bikes i consider him quite knowledgeable, you're asking for advice then calling people names for for giving advice. The v-farce did not do a damn thing to my bike back to back against the stocker so the stocker is back in mine, every debate i have seen about the boyesen is you end up going leaner across the board because of the improved intake trac. that jetting seems way rich, like...

The thought had not crossed my mind that the ti subframe went on a former steel subframed bike!!! So yes...better than steel. But aluminum for reasons stated seems to just edge out the ti on the scale (though if the ti were designed in house at yamaha they would basically come to same weight) EDIT:A neat "fact" of life/basic guideline that often amazes me. Shy of special composites and "really" high tech...

I had the option of a brand new 09 or brand new 08 leftover for around 800$ less than the 09. I went with the 08. The only difference is the seatcover , gold chain and some random aluminium piece. That equates to a really expensive seatcover in my book. 2010 is the same as the 09.
