Previous owner installed a clip-type master link. Clip went missing on the ride home the other night.... New rivet-master on the way from Duc Pond. Bike back on the road shortly... Vstrom in the mean time.

Reflash may have to wait. Clutch is slipping in 5/6 under WOT. Even when shifting without clutch.. Sad  bang head

Bummer. It's a hassle job, but not hard, to do a new clutch pack

Yeah. I did the shift star on my SV650 which required me to pull thr clutches and clutch basket. At least i wont have to worry about coolant this time around! I should be able to limp it another 1500 miles so i can do it when im doing the valves and belts as well at 15k. So about 3 weeks time.

These bikes REALLY don't like the cold! Last two days it's been cold and rainy, and my Duc has suffered a substantial fuel economy loss!

About 8% down over the last two days compared to last week.

Really?

Hmm, odd'ish

My 900 is of a different generation - but I could feel the power difference between a nice cool morning and warm-hot afternoon. The ole girl def liked the cooler denser air.

Granted, total butt-dyno and never bothered logging the MPG over time like you... so I have no idea there. So apples and oranges... but it did feel better  Dolph
