It started off with my smart phone taking a dump. The display died and no I didn't drop it the glass is fine the LCD is stress cracked and that’s that. I had to dig out my old original Droid 1 and put it back in service as I’m not up for renewal until next Feb. The old Droid fired right up after a charge and is working fine if slow, not bad for a 5 year old phone.
I ended up on the Versys yesterday for a 6 hour trip and it ran fine. The only thing it was mainly on the interstate and I hate the Super Slab. I didn't feel the Enfield was quite up the 85 mph for three hours each way.
But today I got the Enfield out for a ride and I like the bike more and more. I installed the Enfield performance exhaust and it sounds so much better. Not all that much louder at idle but when I wick her up it thunders a bit. At least my bud on his H-D said it sounds sweet today, from him that is high praise indeed!
I did break 350 miles today so can now run 40+ mph…why I can run at (Dare I say it?) 50 MPH! I did a short run at 50 and it ran just fine and seemed the want more but I backed off. I found myself back on the back roads at 35-40 and just enjoyed to day. It really is a great little bike and the more I ride it the more I like it.
So tomorrow I change oil for the first time, I'm off until Tuesday, only thing is does anyone have the torque specs for the 2 oil plugs, screen cover bolts and filter cover bolts? I can't find them in the owner’s manual or the shop manual I downloaded from NFG. I hate to have to break out the eng text and go that route but I hate to just S.W.A.G. it even more.
Here's a photo I took with the old Droid today. The mirror and handlebar and exhaust are coming close to finishing off what I want to change at this time, I do want to move the horn. I'm thinking of just below the headlight where the regulator use to be. BUT now to enjoy it!
