First Photos of Harley-Davidson HD350 and HD500
Harley-Davidson and Chinese company Qianjiang have teamed up on a pair of bikes created for that domestic market. But will they be sold outside of Asia?
Even HD going Chinese for production. More likely to stay just overseas and may be a tough sell here in the good ole boys USA, though.First Photos of Harley-Davidson HD350 and HD500

I traded a car yesterday for my very first bike. Whether I'm gonna clean it and flip it or keep it and get my M class is in the air. 1983 Honda CB650SC Nighthawk.
This... Or at, ride and learn a bit, and then clean/sell/flip it if you decide it's not something you like, or you want a newer bike.
What are thoughts on running catless, slipon, and air filter but no tuning or fuel enrichment on newer bikes?
A number of owners in my group (CLX 700) are doing just that and claim, "It's running just fine". I'm suggesting they at least check their plugs to see if they're running lean, but get met with obstinance.
No tuners or power commanders out for this bike yet, but plenty are doing full exhaust and intake. Are they likely going to have some premature issues, or does the stock ECU adapt on newer bikes?

Most bikes you can do slip on and filter with no tuning, but if you remove the cat you need a tune.
Bikes come from the factory fairly lean to meet fuel mileage goals, and the oem pcm can only adjust so much to correct it ince a cat is removed, which makes a much more dramatic difference than exhust canister itself.
There's always naysayers that claim the bike "runs fine" but how do they know it's not dangerously lean? They don't.

That's pretty much what I thought. Thanks for confirming. Still best to check plugs then after cutting the motor after full throttle, or ok to check them whenever?
