I was hating the ABS and traction control but that all changed when I put some Michelin rubber on. Start with the simplest and move up. Check your tire pressure Clean your brakes Check your suspension setup Make sure your lines are bled with good fluid. Double check that what you have is performing the best it can before you start throwing parts at it. Start with pads/tires Then rotors/braided lines Then calipers Then master cylinder

The plug lasted me a few days while the shop got the tires in

I didn't notice it until I was getting back on the bike to leave work. They were the factory wheels and I wasn't really a fan of them anyway.

I fixed this problem. With a set of road 5s

RPM @ 7-8k to avoid surprise vtec and regulating with clutch

so I've been riding with TCS off lately as the weather here has picked up and I've realized exactly how intrusive it is. also tried to take off from a stoplight yesterday and that front wheel came right up. I'm convinced that the TCS does control wheelies whether that's incidental or part of its function.

It must because I've had TCS engage when I've ridden off a curb. But it is a wheel speed sensor so it could be the abrupt change in speed that triggers it and not the gradual build up while on the stand. Does TCS allow you to do a burnout? [emoji48] That will also start with both wheels stationary and build speed in the rear. then you'll know if it's a stand sensor.

I was talking more about speed launches.

And here I was thinking I just didn't know how to deal with the power

It's more likely that I'm not controlling the bike properly than the system interfering with what I'm doing. I'd prefer to have safety net there while I get the technique down. Then see if it's hindering me

I've felt the front wheel come up when pushing the exit of a turn. But never actually tried to lift it up. I've been trying to speed launch the bike and I get a lot of TCS involvement. Could be my technique or the stock tires though

I think the V35 is the only Givi pannier set that fits this bike

You might not be securely in gear. I've seen it before it's slipped from 2nd to neutral and when I've hit a false neutral.

The stock mirrors fold at the stem. You should be able to fold them in and return them without altering the positioning

I tested the ABS out on my brand new bike (tires not fully scrubbed in) the rear is very easy to set off but that's because rear wheels are easy to skid. the front wheel is a little smoother no feedback through the lever itself you'll feel it through the bars but it just feels like you're riding over a rope.
