ya, tweaking... We rode from almost 1pm yesterday till 1am.. actually I think we did. Bike did great till the 10 mile hard pack ride back. Belt blew. I was also riding in high with 32s.. not bright, but i was just getting a feel for things. went and bought a new belt at gander today, and then headed back to the house.. Everyone would be proud of me, i put a floor on the trailer today. I was on a roll. Well, i did really know what to do so i started myself since chris and alan werent reachable.. As i opened the belt housing, there was remains from about 2 different belts in there. And the idiot that snorkeled it before i got it, ran the hosing for the exhaust so far down into the belt housing that it was against the secondary clutch and so it was melted. ( not allowing for much exhaust either) After cleaning that up, i removed the primary and the one way bearing came out with it, and when it pulled off, popped two small springs and caps off someone in my storage. I found one spring and the two caps, but i am one spring short. So, i called Alan and headed home. As far as the bike.. well, it needs 30s, but had no problems turning 32s. Its a beast and wow, the power. Put a huge dent in the radiator from doing a wheelie out of a hole and slamming my head and radiator into a tree branch.. It doesn't leak, and ya, im still an idiot, so i am not going to mess with it. But i don't regret my can am purchase one bit. Just needs a little, DONE RIGHT, and i will be ready.. Im gonna try to find the spring tomorrow morning and see what happens.. But i was already tired from last night and my patience wasn't there to look tonight.. Hope i don't miss ya tomorrow..
