  1. If its the hugger ,then two screws on each front corner and one side screw with nut on back side that holds brake line in place also through hugger. MIKE
  2. What type of cylinder prep was done for the big bore kit ? An over bore for sure and assuming the rings and piston was the proper size. ? Yep the ring line up is important in the sealing .Also make sure the valve seals did not pop up on the valve or that the crankcase is venting properly. It should not be burning any oil if all is right and definitely not oiling the plug ! Hope you get it figured out. MIKE
  3. Just ordered the mod kit for my 2020. Looks like a good solution. The 3D printer stuff is amazing. My Nephew has one and had made some awesome stuff. MIKE
  4. Just wondering is everyone that has had problems, letting the electronics go through the full load up with the dash finishing its full sequence before cranking ? Over 6000 miles on my 2020 and not even a hiccup. I always wait for all the full load up before craning. Just a thought . Oh and I never run any ethanol ,Strictly 93 octane. Mike
  5. I think its the piece that keeps the rubber under the seat that blocks the front seat release .Just slips over the lip edge above the rubber block, MIKE
  6. Congrats on your choice. I too thought this bike brings back the fun in riding. MIKE
  7. Should be fine if you put the amount in you say. Seems like that amount puts you at the top just a bit over the top of the window.On my 2020 anyway. Your fine!. Mike
  8. I installed a Booster plug a few weeks ago and got to say it really softens up the on off throttle really nice,so much that I was in A mode once and didn't even notice . It smoothed the adbrupness that good. I also noticed it took out the flat spot at high rpm.It now pulls really strong all the way to red line. It also did not hurt my fuel MPG one bit. Yeah it throws off your ambient air temp reading but I can overlook that for the improved fueling.It works so well A mode no problem now.on the bumpy roads as much.
  9. What about fuel? Maybe got some ethanol blend in by mistake . Just a thought. MIKE
  10. I assume if set up like the Tracer the Gauge will not come off full till reaching the 1/2 tank stay their till 1/4 tank then show remaining when reaching low levels. Sounds odd but OK once you get used to it. Mike
  11. Also I noticed you still have the older clutch cable with the bend in it ,instead of the smooth radius on the improved model. Surprised you haven't had any problems with it . MIKE
  12. The slack looks ok to me ,but I did notice a few links were not straight while you rotated ,meaning kinked a little. Lube more in my opinion might help! MIKE
  13. Congrats enjoy this jewel of a bike. Also speaking of deals I purchased mine new in June of 2020 at a price of $11,699. ,a full $1,300 off list .Couldn't pass up the deal ! The dealer wanted it off the floor and I agreed. LOL. MIKE
  14. Welcome and enjoy. Like you I.ve had many Bikes dirt and road and all Hondas.Also came so close to having a XR1200 roadster .I thought finally a Harley that i could like with the performance of a Buell. Actually went to a dealer with a 1,000 bucks in my pocket for a down payment . Well none in stock to look at and wouldnt take a deposit so no deal . Ended up with a left over 07 Honda ST1300 in 09 at a steal until I got tired of the heavy weight and seen the GT900. .No regrets at all. Brings the thrill back into riding .Love it . MIKE
  15. Hey welcome ,and also coming from an ST 1300 and enjoying the light weight and power of my new GT. Also a long time member of the ST owners site. Enjoy and stay safe ! MIKE
  16. Welcome and enjoy that fine looking ride ! MIKE
  17. Welcome and good choice. Enjoy ! MIKE
  18. Wow the QS on my 2020 must be set just right ,it shifts perfect through all gears and so fast and smooth as if like an auto trans . MIKE
  19. Sorry about the Kawa but hope you enjoy your GT and welcome to the site. MIKE
  20. Sorry they came off Amazon ,but , checked and no longer in stock from the same dealer. but look just like the ones pictured in the responses. MIKE
  21. I know they fit my 2020 GT . They were the knock offs from ebay and they are a lot better. Not sure about your 15 ,but I'm sure somebody will chime in. MIKE
  22. Welcome also and enjoy your new GT ! MIKE
  23. Wow you got forks raised way up in the clamps ,but then maxed out the preload and the comp. witch extends the forks back out. looks like a very hard riding front and maybe on the twitchy side to me ,IMHO. But to each his own ,whatever works for you. MIKE
