[QUOTE="McDee, post: 448869, member: 14720"] Just want to pass on my thanks for the great info and also a bit of "I'm a dumbass for assuming" info. I bought my '07 with 1700 miles on it about a month ago. Previous owner had a nice work area set up in his garage, claimed he did most of his own maintenance on both his bikes and two cars, so I ASSUMED that he would have had her dialed in pretty well. Hmmm. I currently live in an apartment and the bike is in the parking garage, where the management discourages any maintenance of vehicles. Based on the discussions in this thread, I decided to grab my cheesy little tool kit and sneak downstairs after hours to mess about with the suspension settings among other minor tweaks. I found that preloads were set to 1 (or less if that's possible), damping knobs were set to 1 on the left and 10 on the right. Seems like I have gotten over my difficulty with left hand turns. Only more time will tell though. Thought I had some sort of a mental block. Lesson learned. Never assume. [/QUOTE]
