Oh, one more thing, now that you have it, if you have a Dak, make sure you
put some electrical tape or something around it so that water doesnt get
in there, I have heard that is a problem on Daks, also, dont expect
immediate results. Infact, it runs really funny at first. Mine went from
hardly running to chirping the tires in second and back a few times within
the first few miles. Jet says wait 40 miles. I noticed quite a
difference at 40 miles. I dont think it is a gimmic and I took it off
once to see what it used to be like. I put it right back!
