Rob,

Go over everything that can touch/chafe on the frame and double insulate it. The high temps, dirt, and vibration will work on the harness in a bad way. Reroute/restrain anything that can possibly touch the motor. Ceramic coat the exhaust. Not sure but if the air temp sensor is in the airbox, insulate it to minimaize the possibility of false (high) readings which will cause the ECU to lean the mixture. More of a problem in the woods than the fast open trails. Lafferty has even had problems. My friend gave up and sold his after multiple issues and sensor failures, but our terrain is much more technical so the bike got much hotter. Like the Cannondale but to a lesser extent, the thermal issues were not thought out well enough IMO. Its a cool bike but needs a little detailing. EFI is great but is no free lunch. Good luck.
