The bike ride beautifully on my first ride, I just barely touched the power, safe to say it's got alot. I have some semi synthetic oil in for the first tank then I'm going full synthetic. Any break in tips?

I like what this guy has to say about rung sealing on new bores.

OMG, beautiful bike sir.

Well my dream bike is off the lift after a long slumber and it's looking great! It started first kick no joke(after some priming) it sounds very deep and crisp. Test ride tomorrow!

Did you paint the tank to match the bodywork or is it a cover?

It's a cover, I just went for a 30 mile or so ride and I let it rip a few times (or more) it's unreal! It's everything I wanted it to be, fast and rowdy. Just like me

Gammas are fun and very reliable.

Hope you set correct rotary valve clearance and did a leak down test.

I installed the rotary disc's as the manual stated, it didn't say anything about clearance
