CPI USA tells me that I have an early production model of the GTR 50 and that an updated variator package, a new wiring harness, and new sets of both foward controls should have my problems solved. I will keep this site updated as for as results...in the meantime if anyone else has any suggestions, comments, or problems of their own I would be very interested to hear them. This bike is my daily driver and sole source of transportation so I am really trying to make it dependable. Thanks!!
