Check swing arms. Check the white hanger board or watt looks like an electric box, between the clutch casting and the white board. Check the 2 sunk ECU trays under the seat. Lots of telemetry.
Can you imagine a V-4 from the Big4? That Suzuki TL-R configuration had some motor. Tried to beat the Duc 916. Had good top end. TL-S was detuned and there was your bottom torque; preset below. What a perfect wheelie bike, if I remember. Imagine accelerating faster than the 14. What an engine note it must have. I sure rang out that TL's crank to hear that note on road tests.
You, you lucky dog, master. No problems, you say. I like!
And to make mention; The magazine intro bikes blew up, having a slight out of center machined hole or something out of true. It was maybe a first run of a, pre-manufactured 3-dimensional defect, not the 2-dimensional paper trail as if the engineering has a flaw; seeing n-master has zero problems from year to year.
Funny, because last night my nephew calls, asking about swapping a shovehead into his frame? I said yes, we can even use the late model trans and shoe in that '08 V-4 I keep hounding him about [in the window]; that Aprilia looking and sounding good, all chopped in his frame screaming past the, "Panheads."
