Love the geartrain sounds at off-throttle. Very mechanical. Beast!
It's that steel 17t clutch against that steel 52 counter gear!

Like learning to play an instrument, just pluck along until one day you're in a Steel Dragons cover band and get pulled up on stage and into rock-n-roll history...

The reason for that spring, is I had to relocate the rear shock mount to clear the engine...so that shock only has about 3mm movement on the shaft..it was real soft on that location..this evened up the resistance now both sides feel the same...cool u noticed!
