Big bikes are so much fun. Effortless. Which mod shall I do first?

Or am I leaving myself way open!

first mod, new tyres and get the suspension set up for your weight by the shop.

the downfall with second hand bikes, is that you are also purchasing the previous owners potential botchups, preferences, suspension settings and mods that might not suit your requirements/wants.

rubber and suspenders for a start - even if its just getting the shop to adjust the stock suspension, dont necessarily need to fork out lots of coins

Drop the centre stand (unless you want it) and replace exhaust system with a full system, single sided aftermarket. Easiest ways of dropping some significant weight from the bike.

Then unplug two cylinders... evil bikes, got one speeding ticket in my life, and it was on one of those. They are so easy to speed on... :mellow:

how much $$$$$$ you want to spend ???

what do you weigh & height ??

what type of riding are you mostly likely to do ?

Best Q's to ask before doing any mod's or going over the top with $$$$$

Done 140,000km so far on mine without major issues other than the rectifier & stator burn out :weep:
