[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1238303, member: 3828"] First off, Touring mode will still give you full throttle on demand, just that you have to twist the grip (quite a bit) further to get it. It's like having a very slow acting cam on the throttle tube, but done with the magic of electrons. I find I can ride a lot smoother with it in T mode and, like Bungie, only flip over to S when it's time for wicking it up. I don't think they are GTs. Most of the new bikes come with BT023F and BT023R, which are an OEM spec tire, not available in the after-market. FWIW, I have about 6500 miles on mine and I am still hopefully they will pass state safety inspection this month. Have not noticed that in the least, but I am coming from a 1st gen where heat was an expected attribute. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] Before you go crazy with the suspension settings, try the tires at 40F 42R. I felt like the front was pushing a bit at the lower front pressure specified in the owners manual. Agree with the rating! Once again, congrats on a smoking good deal. [/QUOTE]
