[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1173651, member: 329"] Fred, I think you will find that you do not have to pull in the clutch to change modes, just roll off the throttle and hit the mode switch. As for the suspension, I really can't see much (any) difference between the ES in the rider plus luggage and the A model in the shock's soft position. They both have the same spring rates in the forks and appear to have very similiar spring rates in the shock (about 800 lb spring). The damping curves (and ride) also appears be be very similiar. The only difference is that the ES seems to be a "tighter" package than my 13A and whether that is due to differences in mileage, the inverted fork, or Yamaha working some magic in one year is yet to be determined. Have fun (and the GEN1s were never superior to the GEN2s). [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
