i have found that when the bike starts to jomp forward its time to adjust the cluch but that wasent nessary untill atfer the 600 mile mark.

You have a good point about clutch adjustment. If the clutch discs are still making some contact after pulling in the clutch lever all the way, sure, it's gonna jump forward. But that would be all the time. (hot or cold engine.)

Thanks for all the help. I know most if not all my questions have been answered in the past and I am going back and reading all the old posts in here. Im back as far as when Mark passed his test on 6-30-06. I just spent 3 hours in the MSF class lastnight. I know it is for new riders but 3 hours of stuff like here is the horn and here is the highbeams got old quick. I hope the riding part this weekend is a bit better. That being said I got some more questions if you have time.

Im ordering the mirrors this afternoon. You said they were a pain to install. Do the new bolt holes line up with the old ones? Any trick you could tell me would be great.

I like those flush mounts you have on the front. They look easy to switch out but any trick on these things? Im pretty good with tools and working on cars so I dont see much of a problem. I found some on ebay here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Carbo...spagenameZWDVW
35$ total after shipping. They had blue ones on there yesterday that match my bike so Ill email them if these are good ones.

And last question for today....maybe The front of the bike wants to nose dive under braking. Because this is my first street bike Im not sure how normal this is but it does feel real soft up front. So I guess the question is is this normal?

Have a good day guys. I guess I should get to work now. It is noon here afterall.
