I've found the snorkel-removal increases engine sound (if that's a factor for you) by about 10db. Because I travel from 5200 to 9800 feet altitude pretty regularly, it was a good compromise. I run...

Not uncommon for the odor initially. The grease and such as well as the metal heating-up will give off a weird smell for the first 100 miles or so. It'll pass. Be patient.

Be advised the Silverstar lifespan is about half that of a regular motorcycle halogen bulb, but yeah, it works excellent and gives a non-colored view with no extra blues or yellows. I've used a PIAA...

Not sure why not. I do with no problems. I've started with the high-beams on a few times with no problem. During crank, the bulbs are turned-off anyway. I'm using a Sylvania Silverstar 65W for...

Running lean for sure, and probably a little hot. Are you using 20W-50 oil? That could be a problem too, as it's too thick. I can get mine up to 115 with 5W-30. I played around with oils, dumping...
