I got a chance to give her a shake down last nite.

Besides a chain im gonna drop the gearing down a bit... its 16/44 now and stock is 17/42.... im setteled at 16/43. At least for now.
It was nice not to buzz down the free way at 8.5k... 5.5k was much better.


This feels way more brutal, my 600 felt more electric and smooth, as far as power, as well the torque is there down low for sure. My 600 was no slouch and held its own.... I think it's gonna take a while till i'm to that point on this bike, but thats the fun part.
