Quick ride late yesterday just up to one of the club cabins and back....just all road riding. Was snowing like a basterd for like a week, but got strangely warm here the last 2 days and rained....so only 2-3 feet at this spot, which is fairly low elevation. On the bright side, that should make for a nicely compacted base when it's all said and done.
Wanted to get a few miles on my new 15....cause we might go for a more legit ride with more snow and wide open spaces tomorrow, and I don't want to have to light-foot it the whole time.
Put on maybe 25 miles, this was the only run time the sled has had other than whatever they do @ the dealer. Here's what I did:
- warmed it up at idle, shut off for 15 mins.
- warmed it up again, took off for a few miles, took it pretty easy, stopped checked for leaks or anything on fire.
- let the temp even out, took off for more miles, road pretty normal with varying throttle and some bursts of more throttle.
- checked everything again, then road pretty normal. Tried to get some good blasts of accel and decel, but no long stretches of WFO.
Sled loosened up (in a good way) noticeably from first leaving the truck, although you can tell it still has a more to go. Stunk like hell from extra oil and plastic getting warm for the first time lol.
New remote reservoir Walker Evans are soooooo much better than the standard WE's on my old sled. Like a lot. E-start is kinda cool, but I'm going to take it out and put it on the shelf and save the weight. With all the foam still in and the stock muffler it sounds like a golf cart lol. Running boards are much much better than the 2011 boards. Motor is much snappier and pulls harder than the 2011 with miles on it...as expected. That's all I got.
