finally got my katana 750 back late friday night from the shop, she runs! doesn't idle the greatest, and it's running too rich along with stumbling down low ( i think that's due to the K&N's i installed). anywho, saturday morning i took it out for the first time, what fun!!!! i was a bit scared at first 'cause 35mph feels like 80mph, but it was great! i have the gear changing down pat, and i'm learning how to take turns. it's just weird to me having to be at like 25mph+ to take a sharp turn. i'm not sure if i'm supposed to be going that fast, but that's the only way i can keep from taking the turns too wide and coming close to the ditch on the other side of the road lol it's also taking some getting used to controlling the throttle and clutch with my hand, changing gears with left foot and braking with the right. i have a hard time gearing it down, finding neutral, stopping with the foot pedal and putting my foot down when i come to a stop, all at the same time. but my biggest problem is starting out. i can't seem to start from a dead stop and turn out of a road/driveway without going clear into another lane. any tips or pointers? i'm thinking one reason i'm having a difficult time just starting off is 'cause it bogs so much down low, i have to keep it revved a good bit so it doesn't stall or bog. this is my first drive/ride on any motorcycle of any kind (excluding 4 wheelers, but never even ridden a dirt bike), can't wait to get off work and practice more...
