Theres a couple threads on here about RTM. Particularly one about how they replaced a stator or clutch cover I believe it was with this glue and oil leaked out and the guy crashed his bike.

lol read this thread. It has all you need to know about rtm. Oh and they never made it right for the guy.Pretty much in the end told him he didn't wreck so they don't owe him shit.

i heard elite performance is pretty good. just a thought. have them check your valve adjustment. i know i had wanted to take it somewhere and have that done because it probably was due and i don't believe the owner before me ever did it.

i just never got around to it and since i did all my own work on the bike i never had a reason to have it at a shop.

valve adjustments are usually pretty easy IF you can get to them BUT you will need a service manual for specs and how-to's. To get a valve job done at the dealer i wanna say it runs somewhere over $200. If it hasnt been done it probably NEEDS it, it will quiet the bike up quite a bit to most likely since out of spec valves make quite a bit of extra engine noise that you prob dont notice now, but itll be night and day difference when you get it back I assure you. If you dont do the valves and they are out of spec expect to be replacing rocker arms and be lucky if you dont F up the cam lobes by scarring them or wearing down their 'ramps'. I mean you can go thousands of miles with them not in spec, but just have it in the back of your head, when you can afford/get time to do it, do them.
