Did have one strange momonet when I thought my low beams were off. I rode on hi until I could pull over but the were on by then. Mighta just been a bad reflection from the cars ahead.?
Anyways I am really enjoying it and trying to get the

suspension dialed in for my style and weight. I will watch those turn signals and I suppose the cluster as fall approaches. Overall I am still in love with the sweet handling chassis and torque.

Ndeed Marko I have. It is more helpful than most owners manuals concerning set up. I also have Sportriders settings for the 1125r and the Roadracing World 1125R and CR track day notes. I have a good baseine now, but am trying to work out perfection...

Right on, brutha. I've got mine in the ball park. It's a just a touch still for daily riding. However, when railing...it's right where it needs to be.

Thats the way I like em. Doesnt bother me to ride thru some harshness on the street due to my track biased settings, however it is hard to find that track tight balance on the street?!
