[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 1339825, member: 1875"] I bought a 2016 ES last week. Put the obligatory first 600-miles on her this past weekend running up to EOM and back. As all you old timers who know me from way back can just imagine, I have already amassed a few thoughts with the full intention of spewing them here. I'm going to initially focus on the power curve changes, new 6-speed transmission, and some recommended settings for the ES suspension. It will probably be the dead of winter before I park it long enough to tear down the suspension and look that deep into her innerds. For right now, she's hot enough on the outside to keep me busy. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/IMG] Suffice it to say there's enough different about the 2016ES from either of my previous Gen-II or Gen-I bikes, that comparisons must be drawn and explained. For now I have to behave myself (most of the time) and stay under 5,000 rpm (again, most of the time) and focus on wearing out those gawdawful Battlax BT-023 POS tires so I don't feel unbearably wasteful spooning on real performance rubber. 6th gear and 1,000 miles here I come!!!
