Yep, truly a racing arrangement. You got a motor timer on the bike?

The little clock that counts the hours of work the motor does. You can activate it manually or hook it up to the ignition depending which one you get. They're quite fashionable ;D.

If English was his first language...

Cool. So you reset it after each rebuild?

I'm not sure. I don't believe it can be reset, much like the odometer.

Why would you want to reset it though?  I just did a piston and a couple gaskets.

I could see the logic if I did every bearing and seal. As it sits the bike has 107hrs but the piston is really the only thing with zero ;)

As long as you keep track of time I guess. ;) Ten hours could go quick when you're having fun.

Both are planned.

I have to idle till the radiators are too hot to touch twice with a complete cool down between (cooling now)

Then ride for 3 hrs using half throttle or less, then 2 more hours with 3/4 throttle or less.

Change oil and filter.

Fully broken in after that.

The ring grinder helped though I found it a little awkward to use. I'm glad i got it though.

The bike sounds noticeably different. The frequency is lower and the raspy pop at the top of the exhaust pulse seems to be gone.

Some of that may be from running with no air filter, some may be from the replaced slide gasket in the carb. The old one was toast and I don't know how that affects things like sound and performance. Though, anytime anything leaks in a carb it's no good.

I'm planning to ride tomorrow as it's supposed to hit 60°

I am very encouraged.
