well the bike has been stuck in upgrade mode for a while. got the new oil, filter, brake fluid, tires and spark plugs all done finally. took it for a ride this morning((3am no traffic)... the first 10 miles or so were pretty unsettling. the bike would like to lean very very easy but didnt feel very solid at all. the first few intersection turns i had to make i took as slow as i could and kept it upright. i had to take a long sweeping down then uphill turn, usually i lean Way over for that, had to go real slow felt pretty sketchy. after about 60 miles of mostly straight riding with some minor turns it felt glued to the road. just got to slowly build up the leans i guess from now on till they are all worn in.
the new tires make a huge difference. the bike likes to lean easy but hold the line so smoothly. the new oil made a noticable difference as well, shifting is smooth as can be. i was pretty worried taking it out on the first ride having done all the work myself. working on the brakes and tires makes me nervous lol but all went smooth as could be and feels like a whole new and improved bike now
