In depth

History:	Bought new from Jeff. Had first service at 625 miles. Now continuing the break in.
Modifications:	Front and rear springs for my weight, set up work, race exhaust, thinner seat to compensate for 29" inseam.
Problems:	At 1000Km service, engine was weeping oil from the vertical cylinder head gasket due to non-use of sealant and inadequate torque. Leak was specific to valve gear area return oil gallery at head to cylinder joint. AMS replaced head gasket with sealant and properly torqued all, and so far, no further problems with seep.
Comments:	This is simply the most amazing twin I have ever had the pleasure of riding. This machine will see track days and I am considering club racing it. I have a lot of knowledge to seek, absorb, and use regarding the advanced electronics capability on the bike. This should fill my engineering background with some new challenges.
