It runs. I rode 40 miles today.
Biggest problem is a resonance of some sort when the engine is pulling. It seems to happen in all gears. In higher gears and up hills it's very noticeable. It isn't quite so bad in the lower gears and when descending a hill. Frequency is about 1 Hz.

The diesel has different riding characteristics than a gas engine. The diesel prefers to run wide open until it hits it's rated speed. If you hold it wide open after it reaches the 3000 RPM rated speed, it simply stays there. It usually goes to about 3 lbs of boost, then drops back to zero after reaching rated speed. So, I hold it wide open until it stops accelerating, if it hasn't reached the speed I like, I upshift and continue to hold it wide open. When it reaches the speed I want to travel, I just continue to hold it wide open. With the current gearing, it has speeds of 24, 35, 48, 62 and 77. On one pass of the Prince William Parkway, I held it wide open in 5th for the entire 9 miles. The biggest hill slowed it to about 70. However, at the end of the pass, the radiator fan came on. Since the temp was in the 50s (F) today, that indicates that the bike will need a larger radiator to ride in the heat. The fan didn't come on during either of the other two passes, both of those passes were made at a speed much closer to the posted 55 mph speed limit.
