First day with the 910R. :grin:
Straight to the dyno for some controlled break-in and then a ride. :conveyer:
Installed a Power Commander and comfirmed my suspicions: These bikes run rich!
Bike is small! I am big! Still fits like a glove and is telepatic in it's handling. I didn't push the tires/brakes and lean angles, but it feels very planted.
What struck me is the attitude this bike has. It seems angry as it rides around....the intake noise is very addictive and the low down torque is impressive. No need to spin this engine as it is very strong. Some vibes creep in at around 8-9000 rpms but you are hanging on instead of thinking about the vibrations.
I'm thinking the full system with chip may reduce some of the pulse...plus give this bike some breathing room to make some horsepower. :naughty:
So my first date with the beast was very nice! Still need to get more aquainted, set the suspension for my weight and ride style and just get more in touch with my new bike. People just drool over this bike!
Oh yeah, mirrors give a great view of my arms, CRG bar ends to be fitted this weekend.
Rizoma licence plate re-locator will clean up the sweet ass.
Kellerman micro turn signals will also trick it up!
More later!
