80 miles tonight so 1st impressions are....
The brakes suck.....its notchy and not predictable, I read how to switch modes so going to try that tomorrow
Unlinking the brakes will help it feel better if you are used to unlinked brake systems.
The linking helps when riding two up. give it a couple hundred miles and you will get used to it. (maybe)
I didnt read the manual to know how to do anything...which I now need to so I can make changes
I rode it in ECO mode and didnt know it till I read some of the manual to know what the symbol on the dash was
There is both the eco mode pyramid icon and the "ECON" wording which shows when in full eco mode. It will increase your mpg about 10% and doesn't hurt performance. I feel it helps smooth out the low end.
The key fob thing seems like a pain and doesnt really have a way to put it on a key chain or anything so I hope I dont misplace it
whatever you do don't put it in the glovebox! keep it in the pocket of your favorite jacket.
Really nice bike just some things I need to get used to...wife and I put 65 miles on and we werent sore like we woulda been on my FZ-1...
And she really wants a back rest
AST backrest is solid and offers some adjustment in postition.
