Hi Guys. Bike is completely assembled except for the seat, gas tank, and side covers. I plan to inspect the valve clearances on Saturday. FSM suggests inspection at 6k; bike now has just over 14k. I normally go by the factory recommendations but with the feedback from this forum I figured it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer.
Magnus: I had a really hard time removing the middle section of the air box. I did not realize it at the time, but I bent the metallic brake line leading to the ABS modulator when I forced the air box out. I did not remove the fwd section of the air box that attaches with screws directly into the throttle bodies - I was able to shove it far enough to the side so that I could remove the IACV. (this saved a lot of time).
Is Peterbaron the guy who can look at my old IACV and determine what is wrong with it? If I determine that my new IACV cures the idle problem I am happy to send it to him.
My hat is off to Magnus, who replaced his IACV. This job has been very tedious. It's been like working on a Chinese jigsaw puzzle. Even installing the rear fender was challenging due to making sure the wires are all properly tucked into the plastic cover between the fender and the frame, near the seat lock.
