Feels a bit soft to me. Some old guy owned it once, so I think its set soft.
Rides okay though. I'd like to learn more about the track day stuff. I've only put about 1500K on the bike since I bought it, so maybe in a little while I'll be ready to go out there and get some more seat time and really learn more about handling. Until then...I might take you guys up on your ride along offers. Thanks!
if you want to have your suspension set, take it to Chad Wolfe @ kenetic in hudson, he is one of the best around, plus he will explaine everything in laimans terms for ya.
the best thing to do is get on board some local site rides, even if its sportbikes, there is one that splits into 3 or so groups for different skill levels, they take a very technical route north up into Brooksville area and sometimes go out to Clermont area, but all the roads are a blast. you will become a better rider in no time. jump right in with them, everyone that goes out is great and welcoming, hence a few bad apples.
get a few books read up, do some research on the net, you will be surprised on what your machine is capible of doing.
wehn you are ready, bring it to the track, now, the only thing I will warn ya is you might end up dragging some are parts, there are no that many cruises that come out, but I have seen a few and 1 guy really tears it up on a v max.
anyways, if you want so more info, hit me a pm
