What a pain in the butt, am I right? Is it even possible to get that thing out in one piece? Nevertheless, it's out, pods are on, main jets are in. I realize now what all the hype about thumb screws on the idle air screw is about.

Also, as expected, the battery relocation plate from Brokenfixed was top quality.

easiest way to remove one is to remove rear wheel, shocks and fender. Not really hard to do. Then jack up the bike some more so that it will slide right out the back.

^^^ I started with a cut off wheel but quickly realized that the plastic was easier to break than cut.

Dinqua, in hindsight, that would have been much easier.
