    You have a good point here.  The tool that you use to sync the throttle bodies literally only tells you that the engine is running lumpy with the added benefit of showing which cylinder is off.  Your butt can probably detect a problem by riding it.  So if you are sensitive to engine noises, you can probably hear and feel when it is time to check them.  Particularly with a 3 cylinder.

    What does “lumpy” mean? Rich?

    So no listed weight but with the brackets and skid combined I would guestimate it weighs well under 10lbs.   If the three brackets are a pound a piece and the skid is 2-3 lbs. My guestimate. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

    I just weighed my new SRC sump guard using my bathroom scale and the delta between my weight alone and holding the guard and hardware was 4.5 lbs. FWIW.

    Yeah, I'd like one of those just to look at! I keep wanting to upgrade my rear shock since I'm 200lbs and with gear and cases on trips easily top 250. Throw on the old wife, and though she's a sprite, and we are at 350. But then I see the price, and my hand pulls back from my wallet in a convulsive spasm of shock...

    You’re only looking at ~$4.00/lb. 

  4. I was riding a road that turned into a “primitive”  road so I turned around in some loose gravel and there was a piece of 2x2 that I must have hit perfectly and flipped right into the header. 
     

    PS, I disagree that my bike is filthy. If you live where I do, your bike is gonna collect some muck. 🌧

  5. I changed my oil today and when under there I discovered this. I know when it happened but assumed it was no big deal. But it got me to thinking maybe I should get a sump guard with all the talk around here. The guard shows up Saturday (a day late and a dollar short...). 
     

    Do you think there are any performance issues from less volume of exhaust being able to flow or is it negligible? I can’t tell a difference. Maybe I answered my question.
