Observations:
Gearing is low but usable for a short run commuter and trail bike. I just swapped out rear sprocket this morning . I actually swapped the wheel, it has a new Dunlop 605 and 48 tooth sprocket. We shall see what that gets me....
Suspension is weak. Any bumpy stuff at speed or air and I bottom out. Will put some spacers up front and consider the rear. Maybe just a heavier spring, or a replacement.
The motor seems very strong.
The EFI is awesome
The mirrors don't stay set.
The bars and controls seem fine,and well placed.
Love the digital dash.
Brakes are surprisingly good.
Headlight is pretty good, after some adjustment to the cowling. It works well off road too.
The bike is fun to ride, especially for an older guy or new rider. This is not a bike for speed demons used to an MX bike or guys who want to do some jumping. It needs a mechanic/rider who enjoys wrenching and will give her the attention it needs and things loosen up, bend and wear.
