Tore the rear case off to replace a busted tensioner. Put in a new stator, water pump seal and new chain while I was in there.

Surprisingly, the bike is running much more quietly. Almost too quietly, like perhaps it's not exhausting properly? Maybe it's all in my head and I should go for a test ride? Anyone else experience this?

Kinda unrelated, it also now won't crank with the ignition switch, but will turn over by jumping the solenoid. Already ordered a new one but perhaps I need to adjust the clutch sensor
