Ah ok... I would still check the preload in the back... it may be way off for your weight (like mine was).
have fun with that and keep the shiny side up!

congrats!
how do you like the I3 engine?
also, do her a favor and get some fender eliminator and remove your passenger pegs.
ignore the 2nd part if you're also planning on using it as a chic magnet.

Ya Verm I'm def. getting rid of the mudflap. The pegs will most likely go but the solo seat is $250 (Those Brits must think highly of their quality) so that might take a while.
I'm waiting on ideas for FE's, right now the only thing out is CW and it's way overpriced for what it offers. There are the DIY applications but I haven't liked them yet.
I suppose that's the only problem with new models, nothing is out at all for them.
As for the I3, awesome. It really can't be described unless you ride it. However since it's my first undertail exhaust I definately noticed the hot seat after about 10-15 minutes....

hearing that made me like it even less.
and damn! you have to buy a solo cowl separately? that sucks!

To each his own, the stubby exhausts look bad to me but that's just my opinion. Must be the new thing since Yamaha & Suz both went to them.VermilionX wrote:i never liked undertail exhaust.Icariz83 wrote:

And Suzuki is the only company that gives you the cowl with the bike, every other bike manufacturer doesn't.

Yeah, the whole "full MSRP" thing with the 675s is a little tough to swallow, though I guess you can't blame them when they can't keep the bike in stock.
I just called Blackfoot Motosports in Calgary... full MSRP of $11,999 plus $599 freight and PDI, $99 admin fee, and $8 tire tax. Youch. Plus they only have Scorched Yellow left.
Plus I'll have to ride 300km from Medicine Hat to Calgary for service...
But damn, I still want one.
