[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 186445, member: 2409"] Went for a 50 mile ride this morning. 80% highway at 60 to 70 mph, 20% city 30 to 45 mph. Bike is running very well: Starts instantly due to new AGM battery, new plugs, and electric fuel pump. Very quiet mechanically due to hydraulic valve adjusters. Now it is turning about 3700 rpm at 60 mph vs 3700 with the 1100, so more relaxed ride. Torque is a bit higher than the 1100 for the same RPM and should get better as rings break in. I would say it runs better with my DFT single carb than the 1100 did. Because of the very poor shifting on earlier test rides I took the front cover off, and took the whole shift mechanism apart and put it back together as per Honda manual. Shifts way better now. The only trouble I have is shifting up to 4th gear; sometimes hit a neutral and once it popped back out after I had shifted into 4th. Just have to be very assertive when shifting. Here are some pics of the plugs after the ride. Very clean burning I think...although the plugs only have 50 miles on them so maybe colour is meaningless at this point.
