[QUOTE="John Scottorn, post: 1456259, member: 98839"] I've both a Gen1 and Gen2 at present, trying to decide which is the keeper. Away last week on the Gen1 in Wales with considerable load in the boxes, I reckon the front felt a little too light and I wasn't sure whether my normal running pressure of 41 on the front was too much to get grip.(?) Normally i used to go with pressures recommended by Yamaha, but normally anything less than 40 on the front makes it 'drop its head' in slow manoevering. The back benefits from around 38-40 on the Gen1 but given slightly longer wheelbase on the Gen2 it probably deserves 40+ when loaded. I've also got Pirelli on the G1 and Bridgestone on the G2. For some reason i'm having to gain confidence in the Bridgestones but they're brand new so they may need a few miles to scrub them in(?) [/QUOTE]
