[QUOTE="RiderJoe, post: 1448185, member: 93203"] Well, I am not sure how I can help you. You say that you love the bike, but after listing all things that suck and you hate about it, there is not much left to love, IMHO. Not knowing anything about the bike, the condition it is in, and what has been doe to it already, leaves a lot to guesswork. Have you tried adjusting the suspension? Maybe a different setting would help improve it. If the suspension can’t be adjusted to your liking, there are a lot of aftermarket options available to improve it. You may be stuck with the ABS, but better brake pads, steel braided lines, etc. can help improve stopping power. Aftermarket handle bars, grips, and risers are also available. The question at this point is that do you really want to invest a lot of money in improvements into a 2005 bike, or get something else that closer meets your needs already? I am not sure if you can recover your the money you would need to invest in upgrades to make the bike not suck an be lovable all around for you. For what its worth, this forum offers a lot of great information, you just need to use the search feature to find the right improvement options for you. [/QUOTE]
