Now all you need to do is take it out and get it dirty.

Before you do though did you check the head bolts for tightness?

If you have a tension wrench they should be about 80 in/lbs

If not try for tight and even

It's been over 3 years since mine was that clean lol. Fire it up and go have fun!
 
I still need to check the head bolts, I have not done that. Should i leave the plastic shroud off after I check the bolts, or re-install it?
 
I believe the plastic cover is controlling airflow to cool the engine so yes, I think you should reinstall it.

You should consider getting a better charger, the stocker is just awful

Ice is correct!! The shroud force's air from the flywheel through the fins on the head to cool it.. I let mine charge anywhere from 6-8 hours with stock trickle charger ...A aftermarket charger will be faster than the stock.
 
So i finished my break in today following this:

I ran my mixture as recommended in the video of: 28/1 Using Castor 927. Should i continue to run a 28/1 mixture?

Also, im running a Hobbico VoltWatch2 and plan on getting a RAMTech Kill Switch. Will i need a different receiver to be able to run both?

Anyway, crappy cell phone video and one hand driving:

Can you link me to the splitter? Also what should i use to clean/oil the air filter? Do i need a cover for the starter? I noticed alot of grass in it after running it hard yesterday. Do i have to pull the cover every time to change the battery?

You should get outerwears to avoid grass & other crap getting in sensitive places. You can get outerwear for pull start, for flywheel and if you continue running in such dusty conditions, definetely one for your air filter.

As far as charging is concerned, I made some modifications to mine so I can charge it in the box:

When you upgrade do not get the aluminum plate for the XB the bearings are the same size as the plastic one. Get the plate for the MT/TT or the 7075 plate, the bearings are larger and the 7075 plate has an extra bearing on the rear side. All the above reference plates utilize the same gear or belt driven transmission system. In my opinion, 7075 parts surpass all stock and most aftermarket parts in quality but they/he only makes a few and most are suspension or drive train oriented. With that said, I think the best option for transmissions is the Demon 2 speed but they have been out of stock for a while

Can you link me to the one that is recommended?
