Ok this bike is awesome. I had a great time today. It was cold but not too bad, layered up, with hot hands in the pockets and in the gloves.
The brakes are amazing very easy to control, but very strong.
The trans, shifts better and better already. (more than likely that is me switching from the ninjette) It snicks up or down thru the gears with a light stab of clutch, and a blip. I really like it.
The tires are great, I know there are better ones for this bike (battle axe stock) but I am coming from bias-ply Avon supervenoms.
It is easy to turn at slow speeds, and will do the in lane S avoidance practice with ease.
The seat is nice, but I cant wait to get the yamaha comfort seat. The press release said the stocker is 15% softer than last year, and the comfort is supposed to be better than that. It is better than the ninja but it still caused some uncomfort. Not bad though, and no monkey butt.
It is a little harder to park and back up. I cant flat foot it, so its on the balls of my feet. (5'8" 32" inseam) Still not really a problem just harder.
I am at 255 miles on the bike, the oil is still a very clear yellow but I can see and feel metal in it off the dip stick.
I am going to change the oil tonight. I know its early according to Yamaha, but I have my own mind on that, and will be the one that has to live with it.
