Posted a walk around vid already, page 4, post 35. I plan to do a driving vid to really hear how it sounds through the RPM range in-use. Motor sounds louder than I remember too, but a good loud.

Got fuel sync checked and set today at a local garage. Was near dead on at -1, he adjusted to where it fluctuates between 0 and +1 and then rechecked after adjustment. Only charged me $20.

Next I'll be contacting Hemifever for some fine tuning.
