Ok, first, I have searched the heck out of the KV to no avail, so I am asking here.

03XB9S, 8500 mi. Not beaten, just ridden hard.

First, the bike shifts like butter, up and down. So this has me curious.

I have developed a very annoying squeak coming from the clutch area. The squeak only appears when cold, and after its been parked for at least 3 hours, sometime not at all. It mostly appears when in neutral, pulling the clutch results in no change. The squeak sounds a bit like a bearing race spinning on a shaft. It doesn't sound serious, just extremely annoying. It isn't constant, just a few squeaks on start and it's gone.

I am pulling the side case this weekend to adjust the primary, maybe I'll see something.

My baby is crying and I don't like it at all. Any Ideas???

Check the ball ramp bearing while you are there, mine went bad at 20k or something like that.
