Changing the stock nylon GN tyres makes a huge difference. I got a $140 front back in feb. That reduced my stopping distance to a car length @40-50kmh. I actually feel safe in wet conditions.
I upgraded the back for $130 last week. No I can go round corners without havin to loose to much speed. Old stock rear tyre has a huge shoulder. Feels much better when both tyres match.Dont feel the back kick out while the front keeps pulling. Take it easy for 200k to scrubb tyres in.
Be safe

When I first got my GN I could not believe how crap the grip in the wet was. My only real heart stop moment was locking up the front at about 30kph when a car pulled across my lane.

I had a set of Pirelli city demons fitted and the difference is amazing. I am 100% certain that If I rode the bike like I do now on stock tyres then I'd fall off everytime it rained.

On the Pirelli's it's a whole new bike.
Not super cheap at just under $300 for the pair but certainly cheaper (and less painful) than sliding along the road on my backside.
