Um a brand new engine should be on at least it’s 3rd oil change by 7K...

I dunno, 481 lbs doesn’t seem THAT bad, when even an SV650 is well over 400 nowadays.

Is it a single crankpin? If not, did they offset the throws for a more 45°-ish sound?  Engine’s a stressed member, right? How’s the vibrations and/or vibes, compared to the FTR?
