Hi Adri,
Yes the bike is running great now. No difference in power or top speed to my mates Honda shadow VT400 Cruiser, only half the price. Depending on the headwind I can obtain a top of 140 KM per/hour (half face helmet). I had the overheating problems fixing a couple of weeks ago, it was a faulty thermostat switch that was fixed under warranty. The dealer's mechanic was impressed with the performance of the bike with the 44 tooth sprocket fitted. He had to check the overheating problems, so he got to ride it long and hard. He tells me that they are think of ordering the sprocket to hold in stock, as well as fitting one to the demo bike; can only help with sales.
As for the weather we are down under, so we are opposite to your seasons. I am located at the Top End of Australia, our city is the closest to Indonesia so our seasons are tropical Wet (high humidity & rain for 6 months) or Dry (No rain low humidity). Most people who first move here from Southern States of Australia that have four seasons (including snow in some parts) call it the hot and hotter seasons.
So in short the bike is always running between the high end of 32 -42C
I plan to either purchase the power pipes for $650 supported by the Dealer, or wait for the remaining 1.5 year warranty to finish and do the baffle mod that is not supported by the dealer. I have read that
jetting must be change even when packing the babbles out.
