    KPH, not MPH Try sitting on your bike when taking it off the center stand.

    Exhaust spotting already

    Look at any fully faired bike, they are the same thing - just the nature of the beast and it is obvious on our bikes because of the naked look. Get a belly pan to help the appearance if it bothers you a lot.

    breaking in

    Change the oil at 600 miles and then 1000 miles and keep the revs under 7,000 for the first hundred miles (forget the exact amount the manual says).

    Detailing Hint.

    Don't put anything on your tires - you don't know how it will react if you ever get stuck in the rain.

    Electrical or Mechanical engineers(others welcome)...

    I just graduated NU with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and got my first full time job and started it 2 weeks ago. I'm happy so far and it was worth my time.. I want to work with cars or motorcycles eventually and don't really want to stay in Massachusetts.. we'll see where the future takes me.

    Safe to use the carwash?

    Those paper towels are eventually going to start putting surface scratches on your bike, if they haven't already.

    My First Riding Experience!

    Stay safe... hold the brake (I usually do rear) and let out the clutch until you are in the 'friction zone', and then you don't need the brake anymore.. and then slowly give it throttle while letting out the clutch completely.

    Carbon fiber new style Scorpion exhaust (and pictures of the bike)

    The mirrors are definitely not as good as the OEM ones. They don't give a full view of the rear without my negotiating my arms a bit. They do work though.. but I rarely use mirrors anyway.. except at red lights.. always turning the head. Thanks for the compliments everyone!
