It runs! I'm a happy guy.
Filled and bled the cooling system with "Engine Ice".
Put on the belt. Adjusted Idler tension until it read the 55-65lbs with the supplied tension checker. Torqued bolt to 40ft/lbs.
Nothing I've done so far has made me more happy that finally tensioning that cogged belt.
Dragged the laptop into the garage, fired up the powercommander software, threw the included blower map cd in. Jumpered a spare 9v, uploaded the new map without an issue. Will get it dynoed and personally tuned, but it's more than ok for now.
Squeezed the preoiled intake filter to clear the right fork leg a bit, clamped it on.
Rechecked the rotrex oil level, added some fluid to get to the prescribed 1/2 mark. Bolted up the tank, reinstalled my dampener, put the seats back on.... oh.....
Opened the garage door to find this.
Yep, snow. In Seattle.
It idles well, tracks straight belt wise, revs monstrously to 6500rpm (100km breakin period you know).
Go away snow.
