Get the suspension set up somewhere, because those bikes are really sensitive to setup. Also the rear shock might be worn out due to heat soak from the exhuast. Might want to upgrade to an Ohlins and wrap the pipe that goes next to the shock.
It has an Ohlins rear.

PS Talk to the AF1 boys about 1060-cc big bore kit.
Since I had talked myself into another streetbike, I looked at everything in and around my house to sell off, but I just can't swing $16k new on something *KNOCK ON WOOD* I'd have the potential to wreck. If I didn't have a new(er) truck payment, I probably would've gone all out with the Factory. And the 1060 might be ok, but I'm waiting for the 1100 kit. Go big or go home

Nice find man... can't wait to hear it at the track.
I know, I'm about 2 steps away from getting arrested on it traversing the backroads. Dare I take it near town.
