hey all,
had the bike 8 days got 900 miles on it.
Here is what ive found so far:

Did the first service at a shop, $225 for an hour and a half.
no monkey butt,
rpm above 10k will pull your hands from the bars if your not ready for it.
Soften the rear low speed 5, high speed 7 compression, damping 5-6
harden the front,both raise from stock 2 klicks, (will give you the exact # later if wanted)_
These settings are only for breaking, after 1500 miles the suspension will be broken in.
front end takes a little getting used to if you haven't ridden proper jap type sports bikes lately.
traction control is safe and helps but it does take the hooliganism out of this bike.
Shifting between sports and race, after i put stickier tires on the bike will try slick.

*** rear luggage has a problem, if not set correctly it will slide forward, but if it is set correctly it will take the paint off the edge of the rear strap where it wraps around the edge. IMO the rear buckle is to small and the real strap needs padding. Basically their are 2 big strap in the front pulling on the bag and one small strap wrapped around the tail piece.
Btw you can run the rear luggage without the rear pegs.
gas mileage has ranged between 32-50 mph averaging usually around 38 mph
more later,
questions????

cya
