And other than the oil, probably unnecessary. You just wanted to use the manual.

Actually no....the shifting was a little sloppy. I had to pull the clutch lever all the way to the bar....after adjustment it's no bubbles no troubles. Primary was within spec so I didn't fuck with it.

New for 2009 on the 1125R and 1125CR models are targeted fuel injectors, relocated O2 sensors, and updated engine spark and fuel maps. The combination of these features offers improved drivability below 6000 rpm, even crisper throttle response, improved heat management, and significantly improved fuel economy. The updated engine spark and fuel maps will also be made available for 2008 1125R models.

honestly... I've been looking at the 1125r since it came out... but all the problems I've been reading about... I just want them to be sorted out... I talked to the military dealership here... I can put one on order and pick it up as late as October next year... and if I like the 2010's better... I can switch to them... $300 down... and I'm locked into the lowest price from now till then... right now it's MSRP... but mine includes tax and title. delivered to where I want. still not sure if I'm gonna do it... the bike's more than I need right now... and I need more seat time... but if I can put it off till Oct... I don't make any payments till then...

just gotta see if it's worth it... see what the stateside dealerships offer them at.

who knows... i may get back and sit on my bike and realize I need another couple years... but doesn't hurt to weigh my options

More seat time? How long have you been riding, ebbs? I wouldn't buy anything smaller brand new, as soon as you get comfortable with the bike you're going to want to go bigger.
